Buhari urges new Zamfara administration not to despair over killings
President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the government and people of Zamfara state on the recent infiltration of bandits, who killed several innocent citizens in Tsafe Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu in Abuja on Sunday, Buhari condemned the incident, describing the attacks as ”callous and despicable”.
He assured the people of Zamfara state and other Nigerians who had lost loved ones to violent attacks that the government under his watch would soon bring such dastardly acts to an end.
The President commended the new administration in the state for putting in new security measures to curtail the activities of criminals and bandits, urging it not to despair but to see the latest attack as a challenge to step up collective actions to rout the enemy in partnership with the federal government.
While urging law enforcement agencies to take prompt and timely action against the wicked attackers, Buhari appealed to citizens to have faith in the security agencies by giving them useful information on plans and movements of the bandits.
