The Minister of Transportation, Senator Said Ahmed Alkali, has condemned the killing of two siblings, Yusuf Daddy and his sister, Faiza, and the abduction of four others in Pindiga Town of Akko Local Government Area of Gombe State.
Alkali descrihed the incident which occurred in the early hours of Sunday as “unacceptable and barbaric.”
He called on security agencies to intensify efforts to ensure that the perpetrators were swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.
Special Adviser to the Minister on Media, Umar Alkali Jibril, noted that the minister further urged residents to remain calm, stressing that the administration of President Bola Tinubu has zero tolerance for incessant killings and the abduction of innocent citizens from their homes.
He assured that those responsible for such heinous acts would not go unpunished.
According to him, “While the Gombe State Government is taking decisive steps to address this vicious cycle of violence, the Federal Government, through its security agencies, will ensure that this incident serves as a deterrent to future occurrences.”
Alkali extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and to the Pindiga Emirate over the tragic loss.
He also prayed for Allah (SWT) to grant the bereaved families the strength to bear the irreparable loss and for the safe rescue and return of those abducted.
