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.
