    Nigeria Governors’ Forum mourns victims of Kwara, Niger terror attacks

    Published on

    The Nigeria Governors’ Forum, (NGF), has expressed grave concern over Saturday night’s terror attack across three communities of Tunga-Makeri, Konkoso and Alissa in Niger State, resulting in multiple deaths and abduction of innocent citizens.

    In a statement by the chairman of the forum, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, on Sunday, the forum commiserated with the people and the government of Niger State over the sad incident.

    “The NGF also condoles the people and government of Kwara State on the recent terrorist attack in Woro, Kaiama LGA, in which dozens of innocent people were killed for rejecting strange doctrine that is inconsistent with Islam.

    “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.

    “We commend the security forces for their gallantry, successes, and immense sacrifice across various theatres,” it said.

    The forum urged the security forces to bring the heaviest weight of state power against the terrorists and their collaborators, and bring this mess to immediate stop.

    “We strongly believe in the capacity of our security forces to win this war against terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping,” the statement added.
