Channels Tv
The Northern State Governors’ Forum (NSGF) Chairman and Governor of Niger State, Muazu Babangida Aliyu, has condemned the terror attack on a Central Mosque in Kano where the Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II worships regularly on Fridays.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Israel Ebije, Aliyu expressed sadness at the way and manner security challenges in the northern states have taken a turn for the worse in recent times, saying no one is spared.
Aliyu said that the attack on the Kano mosque where Emir Sanusi II worships is another sombre reminder of how much disregard those behind the terror attacks in the North have on the traditional institution and on the sanctity of human lives.
He said that the position of Sanusi II on the need to protect communities against those perpetuating violence must remain sacrosanct, adding that nobody should be intimidated by evil perpetrators.
He further expressed hope that the Boko Haram insurgency would end, saying good will surely triumph over evil.

The Chairman of the forum, while commiserating with Government and people of Kano State, urged them to remain committed to the fight against terror.
