PDP condemns Sokoto Lakurawa attack, demands action by Nigerian Govt

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the recent attack on Kwalajiya village in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State by the Lakurawa terror group.

The Sokoto State chapter of the PDP described the attack as a barbaric and heart-wrenching tragedy.

In a statement issued on Friday by the Publicity Secretary, Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, the party expressed sorrow over the Lakurawa attack that led to the death of 15 residents earlier in the week.

PDP described the incident as shocking, and commiserated with the families of the victims, including seven persons who sustained injuries and called on security agencies to urgently swing into action to track down and bring the perpetrators to justice.

It also urged the Sokoto State government to immediately deploy additional security personnel to the area to forestall further violence and provide relief to the affected communities.

“The PDP reassured the people of Tangaza of its full support during this difficult time, the safety and security of citizens must remain a top priority,” the statement added.

The party urged the Federal Government to be more proactive and decisive in addressing the growing insecurity not only in Sokoto State but across the country.

The PDP reaffirmed its commitment to standing with all communities affected by insecurity and called for a united front in tackling the scourge of terrorism and banditry across Nigeria.
