President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness over what he described as “the brutal murder of tens of vigilante members in Kebbi State by bandits who ambushed them in the Sakaba-Wassagu Local Government Area”.
According to the President, “this terrible level of criminality is shocking and I want to assure Nigerians that I will do all it takes to tackle this monster decisively”.
President Buhari in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Tuesday said his greatest preoccupation is the threat to life posed by the murderous gangs and remorseless outlaws who have no slightest regard for the sanctity of life.
