Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has
described the killing of dozens of students at the Federal Government
College, Buni Yadi, Yobe State as ignoble, wicked and horrendous.
In a statement issued in Abuja by his Special Adviser on Media and
Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, Tambuwal tasked security agencies to
redouble their efforts and change their tactics especially now that
those engaged in the killings have increased their attacks on softer
targets.
He said the only way to console the families of the victims and
Nigerians is by fishing out perpetrators of the dastardly act by
bringing them justice.
“While attending prayers organised to mark the 89th birthday
celebration of former President Shehu Shagari in Sokoto, my attention
was drawn to the horrendous act of barbarity visited on innocent college
students in Yobe State.
“My first thoughts go to the families and friends of the kids
brutally gunned down in an act of cowardice by people whose humanity
must be called to question.
“While we must all join hands to bring this insanity to an end, we
must however bear in mind that we are running out of excuses in our
responsibility to our citizens.
“We in the House of Representatives feel the grief and pain of the
families of the victims. In this their hour of need, we will stand with
them hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder. We assure them that as
brothers, we will continue to confront headlong, the threats of terror
facing our nation, and we know we will come out stronger, and
victorious.”
While expressing sympathy with the families of the victims, Tambuwal
urged Nigerians to be more vigilant and to help security agencies with
useful information that will help to secure their areas.
