President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the attack on vigilantes at Yargoje forest in Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State, where many lives were lost.
The Nation had reported the killing of some 41 vigilante operatives by a gang of terrorists, in an ambush in the Yargoje Forest, Jibia council area of Katsina State, last Thursday night.
The victims of the bloody ambush, members of a proscribed vigilante group known as Yansakai, who assembled themselves from eight communities, were reportedly in pursuit of the terrorists, who had rustled about 80 animals.
However, reacting to the development, President Buhari, in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, commiserated with the families of the victims, assuring that their sacrifices will not be in vain.
