President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, returned from his official trip to Istanbul, Turkey, and condemned the renewed terrorist killings in Kaduna State.
He said the gruesome nature of the recent incidents in Kauran Fawa, Marke and Ruhiya of Idasu Ward of Giwa Local Government Area, had made him particularly sad, and the killings unacceptable.
Bandits within the week have also killed citizens in Zangon Kataf, Chikun, Birnin Gwari, Igabi and Nauru LGAs of Kaduna State.
President Buhari expressed the nation’s condolences to the Government of Kaduna State, and prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased.
He 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.
The President reiterated his directive to the security and intelligence chiefs to do everything they can to destroy the remaining vestiges of the terrorists.
