President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday condemned the renewed terrorist killings in Kaduna State, saying that the gruesome nature of recent incidents in Kauran Fawa, Marke and Ruhiya of Idasu Ward of Giwa Local Government Area, has made him particularly sad and the killings unacceptable. Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a statement.“Bandits within the week have also killed citizens in Zangon Kataf, chikun, Birnin Gwari, Igabi and Kauru LGAs of Kaduna State,” the statement said.
“The President also expressed the nation’s condolence to the Government of Kaduna State, the people of Zonkwa Cheifdom and the family of His Highness Nuhu Bature, the Agwam Kajju on his demise.
He affirmed that the nation’s security forces have turned the heat on the terrorists who are getting frustrated and are soft-targeting innocent citizens, looting their assets, burning their homes and killing them indiscriminately.
The President reiterated his directive to the security and intelligence chiefs to do everything they can to destroy the remaining vestiges of the terrorists.
