President Bola Tinubu has directed the Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force, and other relevant intelligence agencies to intensify efforts to track down those responsible for the deadly attack on Naridon Village in Kamaru Ward, Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The directive was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

According to the President, security agencies have been ordered to launch coordinated operations across the affected communities to swiftly apprehend the perpetrators and restore peace to the area.

“I have directed the Armed Forces, police and relevant intelligence agencies to intensify operations across the affected areas to track down the perpetrators swiftly and restore normalcy to the region,” Tinubu said.

Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property, Tinubu stressed that the Federal Government remains resolute in strengthening the nation’s security architecture, equipping security personnel, and dismantling criminal networks threatening Nigeria’s peace and stability.

“Our administration has an unwavering commitment to strengthening security infrastructure, equipping response personnel and neutralising criminal networks attempting to disrupt the peace of the nation,” he added.

The President also urged residents of the affected communities to work closely with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence that could aid ongoing operations and prevent future attacks.

“I urge our local communities to cooperate with security forces by providing actionable intelligence that would help early response efforts,” he said.

Tinubu’s directive follows the deadly assault on Naridon Village in the early hours of Monday, during which about 30 residents—including women and children—were reportedly killed, while several homes were destroyed.

Condemning the attack, the President described it as a “barbaric and cowardly” act of violence against innocent citizens, calling it an unprovoked assault on defenseless people.

He vowed that those responsible would be tracked down and brought to justice, warning that anyone attempting to undermine the hard-earned peace and improved security in Kaduna State would face the full weight of the law.

Tinubu also extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, the state government, and the people of the state.

He assured the bereaved families and affected communities of the Federal Government’s support during this difficult period and reaffirmed his administration’s determination to confront insecurity and ensure lasting peace across the country.
