FG pledges to prosecute perpetrators of Kajuru attacks, beefs up security nationwide

The Federal Government has assured families of victims of last weekend’s attack on the Kajuru Castle Resort in Kaduna State of ensuring that the killers are prosecuted.

In a statement yesterday in Abuja, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, also assured that security agencies are doing everything possible to ensure that the three persons who were kidnapped in the attack are released unharmed.

He noted that the dastardly attack that led to the death of Faye Mooney, a British aid worker and Matthew Oguche, a Nigerian, who were on a visit to the resort, was a setback to tourism in the country.

“We commiserate with the families and friends of Mooney and Oguche and assure that security agencies will leave no stone unturned to apprehend the killers and bring them to justice,” he said.

Lai Mohammed also pointed out that the Federal Government has recently beefed up security to curb violence and banditry in parts of the country, through better intelligence gathering and increased collaboration by security agencies.
