The Governor, through his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, described the attacks as cruel by nefarious terrorists.

According to him, ” I extend my deepest sympathy to the people of the affected communities, especially the victims and their families. The victims of the attack at the Kasuwan Daji, Market, Sukumbara Village, are both Muslims and Christians drawn from different communities in Borgu local government area of the state”.

“It is disturbing and worrying to start the year with such unfortunate incidents. However, we enjoin the people to remain resolute in God and my administration is collaborating with the federal government and security agencies to improve the security of the affected areas,” the statement further stated.

He also disclosed that a joint security team is trailing the terrorists with the view to rescuing the kidnapped victims.

The Governor then prayed that God would repose the souls of the departed, rescue the kidnapped victims, and grant healing to the injured as well as restore livelihoods that were destroyed.
