The assassination of a Fulani chieftain, Alhaji Shuaibu Mohammed, and his four children by suspected bandits in the Dorayi community of Zaria local government of Kaduna State has drawn condemnation from the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas.
The late Mohammed was the Ardon Birni da Kewaye of Zazzau Emirate. He, alongside his four children, was killed by suspected bandits, who also rustled his 100 cows on Saturday night.
Abbas who represents Zaria federal constituency described the killings as most unfortunate, barbaric and gruesome, saying the killers must not go unpunished.
The speaker called on all security agencies in Kaduna State to intensify efforts at bringing the killers of the Fulani leader and his children to book.
Abbas in a statement issued by his special adviser on media and publicity, Musa Krishi, called for calm while the security agencies do their job.
He sent condolences to the Zazzau Emirate, the family of the late Ardo, the people and the government of Kaduna State over the unfortunate incident.
Abbas prayed for the repose of the souls of the victims and prayed to God to give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
