President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended his deepest condolences to the families of the deceased, the people of Malumfashi, and the Katsina State Government over the killing of worshippers.
The Federal Government has vowed to hunt down and bring to justice the perpetrators of the heinous killing.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, in a statement, said security forces are already on the trail of the criminals, and no stone will be left unturned until they are apprehended and held accountable for their actions.
He assured Nigerians that justice will be swift and decisive and that such acts of terror will never be allowed to take root in the country and described the act as not only an assault on the people of Malumfashi but also on the shared humanity and values of the nation.
The Minister acknowledged the arrest of top leaders of a savage group of terrorists, including Mahmud al-Nigeri of the Mahmuda group and his deputy, Abu Abba, alongside Mahmud Muhammad Usman (Abu Baraa) of the Ansaru group, who are now conveniently in the net, as a positive step in the war against insurgency as directed by President Tinubu.
