Governor Bello condemns killing of Worshippers in Niger State

The Governor of Niger State in North Central Nigeria, Abubakar Sani Bello has condemned the attack and subsequent killing of worshippers at a Mosque in Ba’ari community, Mashegu Local Government Area of the state.

Governor Bello in a statement by Mary Noel Barje, his spokesperson on Friday, decried how some group of individuals for whatever reasons have no regard for places of worship as they now attack and kill their unsuspecting victims while praying.

While condoling with the family members of those that were killed, the Governor reaffirmed his commitment and unrelenting efforts to curtail the nefarious activities of armed bandits in some parts of the state.

“It is unfortunate that some people no longer respect the sanctity of life and places of worship such that they kill people while praying. added Gov Sani Bello 

“My heart goes out to the family members of the victims for Allah to grant their souls Aljannah Firdausi and give quick recovery to those that were injured,” he said.

It was reported that armed bandits launched an attack on worshippers while they were praying on Wednesday, at a Mosque in Ba’ari village, Mashegu local government area of the state killing many of the worshippers while some sustained injuries.
