Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu says soldiers who were killed in bandits’ attack on their barrack were destined to die that way; he, however, prayed for the repose of their souls.

The governor expressed his sentiment when he visited the 1 battalion Dukku barracks in Birnin Kebbi on Friday to console the family and colleagues of the slain soldiers.

“As Muslims and Christians we all believe in destiny. The recent happenings are destined by God, we pray that God will avert future occurrence,” Mr Bagudu asserted. “We fervently pray for the repose of the souls who died and once again sympathise with their families.”

Daredevil bandits had earlier in the week ransacked five communities in the Zuru Emirate of Kebbi, killing no fewer than 17 soldiers, five policemen and 68 vigilantes.

Mr Bagudu, alongside other top government functionaries including the Secretary to the State Government, Babale Umar-Yauri and Acting Head of Service, Sufyanu Garba- Bena, attended special prayers at the barrack’s central mosque for restoration of peace and for victims of the attack.

The governor also wished other persons injured in the attack quick recovery while he prayed for “restoration of lasting peace and tranquility to Kebbi and Nigeria at large.”

Mr Bagudu urged people to demonstrate sympathy to the families of the deceased by assisting particularly widows and orphans within their midst.

Earlier in his sermon, the Chief Imam of Dukku Barracks Central Mosque, Imam Mukhtar Muhammad, offered special prayers for peace in the country as well as for all those who died in the attack in Kanya of Danko Wasagu Local Government Area.

Mr Bagudu had on Thursday directed Mosques and Churches to offer special prayers on Friday and Sunday, respectively, following the recent killings by bandits in part of Zuru Emirate.

He may be right!

But I implore Bangudu to leave his security guards behind and travel round the state to see if he is destined to be killed or not.

Dumbest condolence message ever.

Later when these bandits are arrested, you dimwits will brand them 'repentant' and release them to continue with their nefarious acts.

What we have as leaders are high calibre idiots.

They are Islamic terrorists not Bandits.

Destiny........Burna boi!

Mumu talk

Politicians looting our money are destined to loot.

Destined?? Maybe

But what measures is he, the governor putting in place to support the Armed forces and vigilante group, to ensure they won't be 'destined to die' next time??

Nigeria leadership!! It's a pity

The only reason terrorism excels in some parts of the world, Africa especially is simply because most of the leaders are quietly in support of their activities,most of them especially in Nigeria are core members of those terrorist organization and they will go to any length to protect the interest of those terrorist.......

And you the governor is destined to loot??

That's what Hausa people dey call: Sọrọ Allah.

That's Islamic...very myopic thinking! Allah yayisa, Amin. Very unfortunate believe

Very funny

Die na die

Can you imagine, so you mean those whose skulls are mined and sold by Yoruba Muslims are also destined to die? So body should answer me

Dem no dey see life as anything with value for that religion

Na to dig shallow grave when no reach bury rat remain then erosion wash the bones in one month

Indiscreet speech.

Destined to die ??
