Northern Governors Express Sadness Over Renewed Attacks in Kaduna State

The Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) has expressed shock and sadness over the killing of a family of seven in Manyi Akuru Village, Manchok in Kaura Local Government of Kaduna State, urging those behind the attacks to stop it immediately.

Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, on Saturday expressed the forum’s condolences to the families of the victims.

In a press statement signed by Governor Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo, the forum commended Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and security agencies in the state whose quick intervention averted a reprisal.

The statement, however, called on security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are caught and brought to justice, to prevent a reoccurrence, emphasising that a situation where criminals kill innocent citizens at will was unacceptable.

The governors prayed God to grant rest to the souls of the deceased and grant members of their families the fortitude to bear the loss.
