In a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the President described the attack on the late Bawa as deeply disturbing and a heinous act that would not go without a decisive response.

The President extended his condolences to the bereaved family, the Gobir Emirate and Sokoto State Government.

He prayed for the repose of the soul of the traditional ruler and comfort to his family at this difficult time.

Mr Tinubu assured Nigerians that his administration would remove threats to ensure the security of the nation, and that desperate acts of terror would be effectively countered.
