Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has described bandits terrorising the people of Kebbi and Sokoto states and the entire Northwest as enemies of the people, adding that it required united forces to defeat them.
Tambuwal stated this during his condolence visit to the Kebbi State Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu over the killing of some vigilante members and military personnel by bandits at Kanya Town in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
He said: “We commiserate with you and pray that the souls of the departed heroes and those who have lost their lives rest in peace. I pray that the Almighty Allah will give the relatives of those who lost their beloved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.”
Tambuwal, however, donated N30 million to the victims of the bandits’ attack and prayed to Almighty Allah to grant them Alijanah Firdaus and to their families the fortitude to bear the loss.
Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu commended Governor Tambuwal for the visit and described the incident as a national and global challenge.
He said: “An attack to one is an attack to all. Regrettably, this is not the first time this happened and you are prompt in coming home to show solidarity to encourage us.
“I must commiserate with you as well.
Bagudu observed that security challenges were highly frustrating but they require maximum co-operation.
He advised that people must stop politicising issues of security.
