Governor Ortom saidt the boldness these terrorists are exhibiting daily across the country is a clear indication that the nation is in grave danger and stands the risk of losing its sovereignty if urgent steps are not taken to eliminate them and keep Nigeria safe again.
He called on Nigerians to shun partisanship and join hands with government and security agencies to expose these terrorists to save Nigeria from these mindless killings.
The passengers were reportedly travelling from Sabon Birni Local Government Area to Sokoto Town before the bus they were travelling in was stopped around Gidan Bawa village, where the bandits blocked the road and set the vehicle ablaze.
