“This attack by bandits on the market in Goronyo really touched us. We grieve the loss of the departed souls. It is really disheartening. Without doubt, it is no small loss for us, the people of Goronyo, the state and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
We sincerely sympathize and commiserate with all those who lost their beloved ones. We pray that may Allah, the Beneficent and the Merciful, grant eternal rest to the deceased”, averred the Governor when he visited the pace of Goronyo District head, Alhaji Muhammad Sambo.
He said for those who suffered various degrees of injuries who are at home or recuperating in hospitals, we pray to Allah to grant them recovery and good health.
Tambuwal also called on the people of the state to continue to cooperate with security agents. Rest assured, “the state government is working closely with the Federal government to ensure that peace returns to troubled areas of the state, especially in the Eastern axis of the state”.
Equally, all the measures put in place thus far to checkmate insecurity will continue to subsist.
Yesterday the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Farouk Yahaya, himself an indigene of the state, visited the Governor and took time to also visit Isa and Goronyo local government areas in the Eastern flank of the state. God willing, these ugly incidents will sooner than later be halted for good.
“I call on all of us to continue to pray fervently and exercise patience. Certainly, with your cooperation, we will succeed in eradicating this menace.
Like I appealed to you when I condoled the people of Shinaka a couple of months ago, I again admonish you all to avoid taking laws into your hands. Whatever happens, we should cooperate with the law enforcement agents to tackle it”.
