In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President said those responsible for the attack would not escape justice.

The President extended his condolences to the bereaved families, Governor Uba Sani, the Kaduna State Government and the people of the state over the tragic incident.

He reassured affected communities that the Federal Government remains committed to addressing security challenges across the country and stands firmly with them during this difficult period.

According to the statement, President Tinubu has directed the Armed Forces, the Police and other intelligence agencies to intensify operations in the affected areas with a view to tracking down the perpetrators and restoring normalcy.

The President reiterated his administration’s commitment to strengthening security infrastructure, equipping security personnel and dismantling criminal networks threatening peace and stability across the country.

He also urged local communities to support security agencies by providing credible and actionable intelligence that would aid prompt response and crime prevention efforts.
