Former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has condemned the recent bandit attacks on Yankamaye community in Tsanyawa Local Government Area and Lakwaya community in Gwarzo Local Government Area, describing the incidents as tragic and deeply disturbing.
The attacks on Lakwaya community, which occurred on Thursday, reportedly claimed the lives of two persons and left several others injured. The incident came barely a week after a similar attack on Yankamaye community in Tsanyawa Local Government Area.
In a statement issued on Friday through his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, Gwarzo expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation in parts of the state and called on security agencies to intensify efforts toward protecting vulnerable communities.
“The situation is troubling and calls for prayer. I call on the state and federal governments, as well as relevant security agencies, to intensify efforts to address the security challenges facing our communities,” he said.
The former deputy governor described the recurring attacks as devastating and capable of undermining peace and stability in the affected communities, warning that the worsening security situation has reached an alarming level that should no longer be ignored.
He also extended condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and prayed for the repose of their souls, asking Allah to grant them Jannatul Firdaus.
Gwarzo further urged residents to remain vigilant and support security agencies with credible information on suspicious movements and activities within their communities.
