Nigerian president
Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sympathy over the recent killing of over 40
passengers in Sokoto State by armed men suspected to be bandits.
This was
disclosed in a statement by Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Wednesday.
“I am very
distressed at the manner of death visited on these hapless citizens who were
undertaking a legitimate journey to another part of the country,” Buhari said.
“It shows
that the evil this administration is confronting is one that requires the
support and involvement of all Nigerians.
“I extend
deep condolences to the families of the victims as I assure that the security
agencies will continue to give their all to bring to an end the operations of
these despicable people.”
