President Muhammadu Buhari has asked Nigerians to support the present administration in its efforts to tackle the security challenges facing the country.

This request was made by President Buhari in reaction to the killing of travellers following an attack by suspected bandits in Gidan Bawa village in Isa LGA of Sokoto state.

A total of 23 travellers were said to have been burnt to death when the gunmen opened fire on the bus.

According to a statement issued on Wednesday by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesperson, Buhari condemned the attack and called for collective efforts to tackle the “evil” of banditry in the country.
