Governor of Kaduna State Malam Nasir el-Rufai has condemned the recent attack on Gora Gan village in Zangon Kataf of the state.

Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs Samuel Aruwan who visited the area on Monday, said the government is not happy about the incident and described the attack as inhuman and unfortunate and appealed for calm.

Gunmen had last Friday opened fire on the Gora Gan market killing 17-year-old Bridget Philip and 19-year-old Precilla Madama, and injuring some.

In his condolence visit to the bereaved families in Gora Gan, the commissioner expressed government’s commitment to sustain peace and provide security in the area.

The Kaduna State government delegation also visited those that were injured during the attack at the General Hospital, Zonkwa to commiserate with them over the unfortunate incident.

The District Head of Gora Gan, Elias Usman Gora, while commending the state government for the prompt measures taken over the incident appealed for more security in his domain.

The monarch appealed for the reopening of the police station saying “Our youths should continue to live in peace and support the government in its efforts to bring permanent peace in our area”.
