Buhari sad over killing of travelers by bandits in Sokoto

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday expressed sadness over the gruesome killing of travellers by bandits in Sokoto State.

President Buhari in a statement expressed: “I am very distressed at the manner of death visited on these hapless citizens who were undertaking a legitimate journey to another part of the country.

“It shows that the evil this administration is confronting is one that requires the support and involvement of all Nigerians.

“I extend deep condolences to the families of the victims as I assure that the security agencies will continue to give their all to bring to an end the operations of these despicable people.”

The bandits have continued to become more brutal in their operations in northwest Nigeria despite interventions by security operatives of the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police and others.
