President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his silence following the burning to death of over 40 travellers by bandits in Sokoto state.

 

Buhari expressed sadness over the development.

 

This was disclosed in a statement by Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Wednesday.

 

We had reported that passengers who were travelling from Sabon Birni Local Government Area of the state to Sokoto Town were ambushed by the armed men who set fire on their vehicle and burnt them alive.

 

“I am very distressed at the manner of death visited on these hapless citizens who were undertaking a legitimate journey to another part of the country,” Buhari said.
