The former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has condemned the recent bandit attacks on the Yankamaye community in Tsanyawa Local Government Area and the Lakwaya community in Gwarzo Local Government Area of the state, describing the incidents as tragic and deeply disturbing.

The Lakwaya attacks, which occurred on Thursday, reportedly claimed two lives and left several others injured.

The incidents came barely a week after an earlier attack on the Yankamaye community in the Tsanyawa Local Government Area.

In a statement issued on Friday through his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, Gwarzo expressed concern over the worsening security situation and called on security agencies to intensify efforts to protect vulnerable communities across the state.

“The situation is troubling and calls for prayer. I call on the state and federal governments, as well as relevant security agencies, to intensify efforts to address the security challenges facing our communities,” he stated.

Gwarzo described the recurring attacks as devastating and capable of undermining peace and stability in affected communities, warning that the security situation has reached an alarming stage that can no longer be ignored.

He extended condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and prayed for the repose of their souls, asking Allah to grant them Jannatul Firdaus.

The former deputy governor also urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies by providing credible information on suspicious movements and activities within their communities.
