President Bola Tinubu has condemned the recent spate of attacks in Katsina state and asked security agencies to go after the attackers.

There have been series of attacks and killings against citizens in Dutsin-Ma and Kankara Local Government Areas of Katsina State.

Reacting to the development, Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, described the latest attacks "as grisly and sinister."

He said the President emphasized that more will be done to secure citizens and completely degrade terrorists and other harbingers of death and sorrow in any part of the country.

President Tinubu "directs security agencies to go after the assailants and ensure that they are brought to justice.

"The President condoles with the families of the deceased, as well as the Government and people of Katsina State, and prays for the repose of the souls of the departed."
