The Northern States Governors Forum has expressed shock and sadness at the renewed attacks in parts of Kaduna State by unknown gunmen, urging whoever is behind such acts to immediately stop the attacks.
The Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, on Saturday expressed the forum’s deepest condolences to the families of the victims, especially the relations of the family of seven that was completely wiped out at Manyi Akuru village, a suburb of Manchok town in Kaura Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement signed by Governor Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo, the forum commended Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero of Kaduna State and security agencies in the state whose quick intervention averted a reprisal.
The statement called on security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are caught and brought to justice, to prevent a re-occurrence, emphasising that a situation where criminals kill innocent citizens at will was unacceptable.
The governors prayed God to grant repose to the souls of the deceased and also grant members of their families the fortitude to bear the loss.
