Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has recapitulated on his administration’s commitment to addressing security threats and successfully fighting acts of terror in the country.
Tinubu had made the vow in a reaction to the tragic circumstances surrounding the death of Alhaji Isa Bawa, the District Head of Gatawa District in Sabon Birni LGA of Sokoto State.
In a statement by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, on Wednesday night, the brutal attack was condemned, with Tinubu tagging the attack on the traditional ruler as a “deeply disturbing” and a “heinous act” that required a decisive response.
He concluded his statement by extending his condolences to the bereaved family of the Gobir Emirate and the government of Sokoto State, while praying for the repose of the traditional ruler’s soul and comfort for his family at this difficult time.
