Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, today, expressed sadness over the brutal murder of aides and security agents of the Emir of Kaura Namoda, Alhaji Sanusi Muhammad Asha by unknown bandits that attacked his convoy on Friday.
According to him, the rate and confidence with which bandits now kill for fun should be stopped lest outlaws take over the affairs of the nation.
In a statement signed by his media adviser, Mr. Paul Ibe, Atiku added that a situation where the citizens are afraid to leave their homes for fear of their lives being terminated by unknown bandits is a cause for anxiety, he then called on federal government to be more proactive in the war against insurgency in the country.
He further said “Condemnation of attacks is not enough to reassure citizens who are constantly living in fear”, the statement read, urging government to “speed up the prosecution of terrorists and bandits in order to send a strong message to these outlaws that there are consequences for willful taking of life”.
