President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the government and people of Nasarawa State “over the brutal killing of the leaders of the Miyetti Allah who forged a strategic partnership with the government against the menace of bandits and kidnappers.”

This was contained in a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu in Abuja, Monday.

President Buhari in the statement described the late State leader, Alhaji Mohammed Husaini who was among those murdered “as a beacon of peace for Nasarawa State and the subregion.”

In praying for the repose of the souls of those killed, the President “urged the Fulani leaders in the state to choose new leaders who will build on the foundations of peace set up by the Husaini-led leadership.” President Buhari reiterated the determination of his administration to work with all members of the society to rid the country of terrorists, bandits and kidnappers.
