President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the attack on vigilantes at Yargoje forest in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State, where 41 lives were lost.
The insurgents ambushed a convoy of vigilantes in the forest as they went to recover stolen cows leading to the killings.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Malam Garba Shehu, “the President pays tribute to all those vigilantes and family members who have been martyred today, saying that the sacrifices of the brave men who are working to prevent and punish crime in their communities will not be forgotten”.
He added: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families in this difficult period. May Allah repose the soul of the deceased.”
President Buhari’s convoy was recently ambushed by bandits in Katsina with some casualties.
