“My thoughts go to the Aguma of Tawari, Alhaji Alhassan Idris Yusuf Tawari and the entire community on this irreparable loss and unspeakable pain and hardship.
“I also charge our government at all levels to stand up to their responsibility in the protection of lives and properties of our citizens as well as ensuring that the perpetrators of this ungodly act are apprehended and brought to book,” he said.
