The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has expressed deep concern over the terror attack that occurred on Saturday night across three communities—Tunga-Makeri, Konkoso, and Alissa—in Niger State, which resulted in multiple fatalities and the abduction of innocent residents.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the forum’s chairman, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, extended condolences to the people and government of Niger State over the tragic 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 NGF 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.
