Niger East Senator Condemns Attack on Tegina

The Senator representing Niger East senatorial district, Mohammed Sani Musa, has condemned the attack by bandits on Tegina in Rafi Local Government Area of the state last Sunday.

He described the attack that has reportedly led to the death of an internally displaced person (IDP) and the abduction of children from Islammiya, as callous and unfortunate.

Commiserating with the victims of the attack, he noted that the enemies of peace in the area would soon be brought to book.

He said: “I received credible information of the gruesome daylight attack on the good people of Tegina by bandits. With utmost concern, I strongly condemn these attacks and reaffirm the solidarity of my office with the people and Rafi LGA over these gruesome attacks.

“My heart goes out to the victims and all those affected by this horrific attack in our senatorial district. I stand with the people of Tegina at this tragic and difficult time.”

Musa also reiterated the call for the federal government to strengthen security in Niger State, particularly in areas where bandits have been terrorising undisturbed.
