President Tinubu Condemns Killings, Moves To Track Down Attackers

President Bola Tinubu has strongly condemned the latest wave of killings in parts of the country, vowing that perpetrators will be tracked down and brought to justice.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the President described the attacks as “barbaric and unacceptable,” directing security agencies to intensify efforts to apprehend those responsible.
