I want the Nigerian Police, the families of the deceased and indeed all Nigerians to know that the attack on security personnel is an attack on all. “This attack was unwarranted, it was not needed because all these patriotic Officers were there to protect lives and properties and that was why they were killed, the Governor said. “Accordingly, we condemn this and we want to assure everyone that Jigawa State will join hands with the security forces to ensure that all those who perpetrated this sad act are brought to boo,” he said.
