The African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Zamfara State has condemned the recent terrorist attack on Sauna Community in Talata Mafara Local Government Area, urging President Bola Tinubu to visit the state and assess the security situation first-hand.
The party made the call in a statement issued by its State Publicity Secretary, Abdulkareem Umar Lihidda, and made available to journalists in Gusau.

The ADC expressed condolences to the people of Sauna Community, the Talata Mafara Emirate and families of those who lost their lives in the attack, describing the incident as another painful reminder of the persistent insecurity confronting Zamfara State.

The party condemned the attack, calling on security agencies to intensify efforts to protect lives and restore confidence among residents.

It also urged the Federal Government and the Zamfara State Government to take decisive measures to ensure those responsible for the attack are identified, arrested and prosecuted.

According to the statement, justice must be served while proactive measures are put in place to prevent further attacks on innocent communities across the state.

The ADC further expressed concern that President Tinubu has yet to pay an official visit to Zamfara since assuming office despite repeated terrorist attacks and the humanitarian challenges facing the state.

The party appealed to the President to visit Zamfara to sympathise with victims, assess the security situation first-hand and reassure residents of the Federal Government’s commitment to addressing the security challenges.

It maintained that the people of Zamfara deserve the same protection, attention and compassion accorded to citizens in other parts of the country.
