Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna has ordered security agencies to hunt down killers of worshippers in a Mosque in Ikara Local Government Area of the state.

In a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Muhammad Shehu, on Sunday in kaduna, Mr Sani described the killings by bandits as wicked and barbaric.

The governor directed security agencies to thoroughly investigate the incident and go after the perpetrators.

Promising to go to any length within the law to bring the Ikara bandits to book, Mr Sani said he would not rest until peace and stability were restored to every part of Kaduna State.

“We understand the concerns and anxieties of the residents of Ikara, in particular and Kaduna State in general.

“Your safety and security are our top priorities, and we want to reassure you that we are working tirelessly to maintain peace and stability.

“We encourage the public to remain calm and vigilant.”

Bandits had earlier in the month attacked a Mosque while worshippers were praying and killed five persons and two others nearby.
