Unmask those behind Kaduna attacks, Buhari charges govt

Former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has called on the Kaduna State Government to fish out those behind the recent attacks in Kaura Local Government Area of the north-west state.

Buhari made the call yesterday when he led a delegation of the national leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on a condolence visit to the Chief of Marwa, Mallam Tagwi Sambo.

The APC National Leader said: “It is only when the perpetrators are brought to book and punished according to the law of the land that it would serve as a deterrent to others.

“If Nigerians give their mandate to APC come 2015 general elections, it will address the prolonged insecurity that has been bedeviling the country which the government of President Goodluck Jonathan has woefully failed to address.

“For me, I am not a stranger in Kaura because my elder brother is a close friend of the Chief of Marwa, so I feel like I am at home here.”

In his remarks, former Kaduna State Commissioner for Finance and now a chieftain of APC in Kaduna State, Alhaji Sulaiman Hunkuyi, condemned the attacks and commiserated with the Chief of Marwa.

The APC delegation donated the sum of N2m to the victims and the money was presented by Buhari to the Chief of Marwa.

In his response, the Chief of Marwa, Mallam Tagwai Sambo, thanked the delegation for the visit. Though he described his people’s ordeal as an act of God, he expressed hope that similar incidents would never occur again.

Some of the national executives of APC in the delegation included the Interim Deputy National Chairman, Aminu Bello Masari, and the Interim Deputy National Secretary, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
