President Bola Tinubu condemned a deadly attack on Naridon Village in Kaduna State. The assault occurred early Monday in Kamaru Ward, Kauru Local Government Area. It claimed about 30 lives, including women and children, and left several houses burnt.
Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga issued a statement on Tuesday in Abuja. He conveyed the president’s response to the incident.
Tinubu described the assault as a barbaric and cowardly act of terror against defenceless citizens. He stressed that those seeking to undermine the hard-earned peace and security in Kaduna would not escape justice.
The president extended condolences to the bereaved families. He also sent sympathies to Governor Uba Sani, the Kaduna State Government and the people of the state.
Tinubu directed the Armed Forces, police and relevant intelligence agencies to intensify operations. “I have directed the Armed Forces, police, and relevant intelligence agencies to intensify operations across the affected areas to track down the perpetrators swiftly, secure the release of abducted individuals, and restore normalcy to the region,” he said.
He assured the state government and affected communities of federal support. The administration remained committed to strengthening security infrastructure and neutralising criminal networks.
Tinubu urged local communities to cooperate with security forces. He asked them to provide actionable intelligence that would aid early response efforts.
