Bandits’ reign of terror has continued unabated in Sokoto and Kaduna States as 45 persons were reported killed yesterday.
Commiserating with the victims and their families, Tambuwal prayed Allah to grant them the fortitude to bear the loss. “Leaders and loyalists of our party, the PDP were harassed, hounded and arrested by security agents even on the election day. “We were aware of efforts to engage electoral officials and security agents by the opposition with a view to compromising their integrity.
He appealed to the people to re-commit themselves to the democratic process, stressing that people should prepare to come out and elect leaders of their choice. “The gunmen came this morning – over hundred of them. They were fully dressed in military uniforms. Initially, our people attempted to repel them, but they couldn’t withstand the superior firepower of the Fulani,” he said.
“Soldiers have been deployed in the community and are engaging the Fulani. Fighting is still going on. When contacted for his reaction via a text message, the spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Mr. Yakubu Sabo, said he would get back, but he never did at the time of filling this report.The Kaduna State Government while confirming the incident, said it was saddened by the attack and called on the communities to remain calm.
