President Bola Tinubu has strongly condemned the spate of killings in Dutsin-Ma and Kankara Local Government Areas of Katsina State.
Presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, adding that Tinubu has ordered security agents to apprehend and prosecute the assailants.
He said the President described the latest attacks as grisly and sinister, adding that Tinubu “emphasises that more will be done to secure citizens and completely degrade terrorists and other harbingers of death and sorrow in any part of the country.
“President Tinubu directs security agencies to go after the assailants and ensure that they are brought to justice.
“The President condoles with the families of the deceased, as well as the Government and people of Katsina State, and prays for the repose of the souls of the departed,” the spokesperson said.
