Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,  Ajuri Ngelale in a statement said the President described the latest attacks as grisly and sinister.

He emphasised that more will be done to secure citizens and completely degrade terrorists and other harbingers of death and sorrow in any part of the country.

President Tinubu directed security agencies to go after the assailants and ensure that they are brought to justice. 

The President condoles with the families of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Katsina State, and prays for the repose of the souls of the departed.
