Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the killing of a woman and her six children in Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters, Kano.

The gruesome killings have continued to attract widespread condemnation from political leaders and civil society groups, with renewed calls for improved security across the country.

The Kano State Police Command has since arrested three suspects in connection with the incident.

In a statement via his social media platforms on Sunday, the opposition leader expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy and questioned the effectiveness of security agencies.

“I am heartbroken by the gruesome killing of a mother and her six children in Dorayi Chiranchi, Kano. This senseless violence against innocent Nigerians is unacceptable. My thoughts and prayers are with the grieving family and community,” Atiku wrote.

He further criticised the security response, saying: “It is either the so-called marching orders to the security agencies are not being actioned or it is merely political talk.

“Security agencies are charged to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice and take decisive actions to protect every Nigerian from such brutality. We must end the culture of violence and ensure safety for all.”
