President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed security and intelligence agencies to go after the perpetrators behind the deadly attack on Naridon Village in Kamaru Ward, Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, where 30 residents were reportedly killed and several houses were set ablaze.
The President’s position was contained in a statement released on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga.
Tinubu condemned the attack as a “barbaric and cowardly” act, describing it as a targeted assault on innocent and vulnerable citizens. He warned that anyone attempting to undermine the relative peace and security achieved in Kaduna State would face the consequences of their actions.
The President sympathised with the families of those who lost their lives, while also extending his condolences to Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani and residents of the state.
He assured the affected communities that the Federal Government remains committed to supporting them and addressing security challenges across the country.
Tinubu said he had instructed the Armed Forces, police, and relevant intelligence bodies to step up operations in the affected areas, locate those responsible for the attack, and help restore calm.
“Our administration has an unwavering commitment to strengthening security infrastructure, equipping response personnel, and neutralising criminal networks attempting to disrupt the peace of the nation,” the President said.
He also called on residents to work with security agencies by providing credible information that could assist in identifying criminals and improving response efforts.
