President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the attack on at least 40 vigilante personnel at Yargoje forest in the Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State.
On Friday, terrorists ambushed a convoy of vigilantes in the forest as they went to recover stolen cows and killed over 40.
Paying tribute to the vigilantes, Buhari said the sacrifices of the brave men who are working to prevent and punish crime in their communities will not be forgotten.
