The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has expressed grave concern over Saturday’s terror attack across three communities of Tunga-Makeri, Konkoso and Pissa in Niger State, resulting in multiple deaths and abduction of innocent citizens.
The Forum commiserated with the people and government of Niger State over the sad incident.
The NGF in a statement by it’s Chairman who is also the Governor of Kwara State, Mallaam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq similarly condoled the people and government of Kwara State on the recent terrorist attack in Woro, Kaiama Local Government Area in which dozens of innocent people were killed for rejecting strange doctrine.
“We send our sincerest condolences to all the families who lost dear ones in these unfortunate terrorist attacks, acknowledge and identify with the trauma and pains of the survivors, and pray for the safe returns of those still missing,” the statement added.
The Forum commended the security forces for their gallantry, successes, and immense sacrifice across various theatres.
The NGF however urged them to bring the heaviest weight of state power against the terrorists and their collaborators, and bring this mess to immediate stop, stressing that it strongly believed in the capacity of the security forces to win this war against terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping.
