President Tinubu Orders Security Chiefs To Hunt Down Perpetrators Of Niger Market Attack

President Tinubu has ordered security chiefs to hunt down perpetrators of the Niger market attack.

Brand News Day Nigeria reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed top security officials to track down and arrest those responsible for the deadly attack on Kasuwan Daji market in Niger State and ensure they are swiftly brought to justice.

Tinubu ordered the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) to intensify efforts to apprehend the attackers immediately.

The order follows a brutal assault by terrorists on a village market in Kabe District, Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State, where nearly 40 people were killed. Several others were also abducted during the attack.

In addition to pursuing the assailants, the President directed security agencies to rescue all victims abducted during the incident urgently.

“These terrorists have tested the resolve of our country and its people,” Tinubu said. “They must face the full consequences of their criminal actions. No matter who they are or what their intent is, they must be hunted down. They, and all those who aid, abet, or enable them in any form, will be caught and brought to justice.”

The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting lives and property and ensuring that those responsible for acts of terror across the country are held accountable.
