Governor Nasir El-Rufai has apologised to the people of Kaduna State over the recent attacks in three local government areas of the state in which scores of people were killed.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how over 50 people were reported killed during attacks by bandits on six villages in Giwa, Birnin Gwari, and Igabi local government areas of the state on Sunday.

The attacks are similar to the spate in the northern part of the country.

Mr El-Rufai, on a visit to the affected villages, admitted that governments ‘best’ has not been enough in protecting citizens.

“As those that have been placed in a position of leadership, the responsibility for protecting these people rests squarely on my shoulders and those of my colleagues. I also came to apologise for my failure to fully protect them.

“We are doing the best we can and we are hoping that this banditry will end soon because the security agencies are taking the war to the bandits. But as they close one area, they attack in another area. It is a vast territory and it is difficult to cover, but we are doing our best to minimise such incidents. You should continue to forgive us,” Mr El-Rufai told journalists and residents at one of the scenes of the attacks.

The governor reiterated his government’s decision not to negotiate with criminals.

“In Kaduna State, we have zero tolerance for bandits, we don’t give them amnesty and we don’t negotiate with them. It is our duty to wipe them out, and until we send them to their maker, the security agencies are taking the war to the forest and we are eliminating them,” he said.

Why do Northerners call killers, bandits?

I am not sure if they know what they are dealing with.

Why do many call them anything else as if they aren't bandits?

Ewo! See 'presidential' speech na! The same midget that boasted of running after fulani herdsmen/bandits in 2016 to give them millions of cash so they would stop attacking innocent people. We've seen how far that went na...

Apology not accepted.El-Rufai pls take back your own advice back then.

saaron:
Don't mind the terrorist. He thinks Nigerians have forgotten his actions and past statements in defence of fulani terrorist marauders.
Thank God for the internet, we have all the records of elrufai. And every records proves in EMPIRICAL TERMS that elrufai is nothing but a bloody tribal bigot and terrorist supporter just like Buhari.
Buhari and elrufai share the same devilish ideology.
ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD!

The government rebranded Fulani herdsmen bandits but they are same people.

Hypocrites are everywhere. Your fanatically media of hate branded herdsmen bandit, like in Zamfara where their main victim were hausas and Muslims it will not make sense to their religious bigoted readers that the same Herdsman they claim are about stealing Christian lands and also about stealing Muslim lands, so to save their obvious false news they created the bandit identity to make their puzzling situation seems o[/s]k.

We are talking of El Rufai and you are posting pictures of Katsina Governor, do you even understand your Job Description at all?
