By Egena Sunday Ode

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the terrorist attack on four locations in Kaura Local Government in Kaduna State in which two soldiers and tens of others were killed as a “mindless act of violence” that has no place in a civilized society.

“The primitive and cowardly attack on innocent civilians, law enforcement officials and the destruction of houses and shops is extremely painful and condemnable. The nation mourns with the Kagoro community, where the attacks took place and the military which lost their brave compatriots,” said the President in a statement.

The statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Wednesday quoted Buhari to have said  “he is keenly following the actions of the Kaduna State Government and security agencies who are doing their job to track the attackers and bring them to justice.”
