President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the recent attacks
on communities across Kaduna, describing the perpetrators as “terrorists”.
A total of 38 people were confirmed dead following attacks
by suspected bandits in communities across Giwa LGA of Kaduna over the weekend.
The development came days after a court proscribed bandit
groups and declared them as terrorists.
In a statement by Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman,
Buhari said the attackers are “feeling the heat” of recent security operations
and as such, focusing on “soft targets”.
He, however, directed security agencies to intensify
operations and “destroy the terrorists”.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the renewed
terrorist killings in Kaduna State, 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,”
the statement reads.
“Bandits within the week have also killed citizens in Zangon
Kataf, Chikun, Birnin Gwari, Igabi and Kauru LGAs of Kaduna State.
“President Buhari
affirmed that our 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 has reiterated his directive to the security and
intelligence chiefs to do everything they can to destroy the remaining vestiges
of the terrorists.”
The president also expressed condolences to the Kaduna
government and the people of Zonkwa chiefdom over the death of Nuhu Bature, the
Agwam Kajju.
