Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State has described as wicked and barbaric the reported killing of worshippers in a Mosque in Ikara Local Government Area by bandits.
This is contained in a statement by Gov Sani’s Chief Press Secretary, Muhammad Shehu and was made available on Sunday in Kaduna.
According to the statement, the governor has directed security agencies to thoroughly investigate the incident and go after the perpetrators.
Gov. Sani promised to go to any length within the law to bring the Ikara bandits to book.
He said he would not rest until peace and stability were restored to every part of Kaduna State.
“We understand the concerns and anxieties of the residents of Ikara, in particular, and Kaduna State in general,
“Your safety and security are our top priorities, and we want to reassure you that we are working tirelessly to maintain peace and stability.
