In a statement released and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party linked the killings to a broader wave of terror in Katsina and Zamfara that has claimed over 140 lives in two months, and called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop “jet-setting across the world.”

The party advice the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration to urgently declare a State of Emergency in the affected states.

The party also criticised the decision of PDP Governors to hold their political meeting in Zamfara days after the tragic massacre of people in the state, describing the action as insensitive.

According to the statement, “The African Democratic Congress, ADC, is deeply outraged and concerned by the recent massacre in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State, where 30 worshippers were shot dead in a mosque during dawn prayers, and 20 villagers were burnt alive in their homes.”

“This evil act shows the horrors that citizens have been forced to endure under this administration. It is also a damning proof of the total collapse of our national security architecture, which has prompted even the nation’s Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, to ask citizens to learn how to defend themselves.”
