I’m Sad Over Fresh Kaduna Killings – Buhari

160

President Muhammadu Buhari has said he’s sad over the latest killings in Kaduna State.

The president who just returned from Turkey on state visit condemned the renewed killings, 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.

Recall that over 30 Nigerians were killed in the state while Buhari was away from the country.

A statement from Mr Garba Shehu, the president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, on Sunday evening, noted that bandits within the week have also killed citizens in Zangon Kataf, Chikun, Birnin Gwari, Igabi and Kauru LGAs of Kaduna State.

The President condoled with the Government of Kaduna State.

Buhari affirmed that the country’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.

He reiterated his directive to the security and intelligence chiefs to do everything they can to destroy the remaining vestiges of the terrorists.
