The presidential aide's comment was in reaction to Governor El-Rufai's statement that his administration would never negotiate with bandits.
Recall that suspected bandits had raided different villages in Igabi and Giwa local government areas of Kaduna state on Sunday morning, kiIIing over 50 residents and setting their corpses on fire.
Reacting to the unfortunate incidents, Gov El-Rufai apologised to the residents of the villages attacked by the bandits, admitting that he has failed to protect them as a chief security officer in the state.
He said, “If not for the security agencies prompt intervention they would have wiped out the entire villages,”
“I also came to apologise for failure to protect you fully, we are doing our best to minimise such incidents, you should continue to forgive us.
“But we are doing the best we can and we are hoping that this banditry issue will be addressed because security personnel are on ground to manage the situation.
“In Kaduna, we have vast land, if the security close one area they a*tack another area.”
