Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed deep concern over the recent attack on Yargoje village in Kankara Local Government Area, Katsina State.
The assault led to the tragic loss of numerous lives and the kidnapping of vulnerable women and children.
Atiku also addressed the unfortunate ambush of a police armoured personnel carrier by bandits in Gidan Tofa and Dan Nakwabo villages, resulting in the deaths of four police officers and two members of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps.
In a post on his X handle, Atiku stated, “I am saddened by reports of the attack on Yargoje village in Kankara LGA of Katsina State, which claimed scores of lives and the kidnap of vulnerable women and children.
“It is also sad that the bandits ambushed the police armoured personnel carrier responding to the distress call at Gidan Tofa and Dan Nakwabo villages, killing four police officers and two members of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps.
“Most worrisome to me is that these acts of banditry and terrorism have become routine, with the government seemingly helpless and nonchalant about it despite the enormous annual budget for defence.
“While I sympathise with the families of the victims, I will once again call on the government to be alive to its responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the citizens,” Atiku Concluded.
