Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has tender an apology to the people of Kaduna State over early morning Sunday attacks in three local government areas of the state, which over hundreds people were killed, house, cars and other properties destroyed.
Omokoshaban had this morning report that over 60 people were killed yesterday Sunday, 1st of March 2020 by bandits on six villages in Giwa, Birnin Gwari, and Igabi local government areas of the state on Sunday.
Reacting to the sad incident, Governor Nasir El-Rufai apologized to the people of the state over the failure of the government to protect lives of the citizens.
“As those that have been placed in a position of leadership, the responsibility for protecting these people rests squarely on my shoulders and those of my colleagues. I also came to apologise for my failure to fully protect them.
“We are doing the best we can and we are hoping that this banditry will end soon because the security agencies are taking the war to the bandits. But as they close one area, they attack in another area. It is a vast territory and it is difficult to cover, but we are doing our best to minimise such incidents. You should continue to forgive us,” Mr El-Rufai told journalists and residents at one of the scenes of the attacks.
The governor reiterated his government’s decision not to negotiate with criminals.
“In Kaduna State, we have zero tolerance for bandits, we don’t give them amnesty and we don’t negotiate with them. It is our duty to wipe them out, and until we send them to their maker, the security agencies are taking the war to the forest and we are eliminating them,” he said.
