President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness over the senseless killings of citizens going on in Zamfara State.

While reacting on Saturday to the recent incidents of banditry and kidnappings in Zamfara State and some parts of the country, Buhari wondered how he could be unconcerned about the killings and the pain of the families of those who had lost their lives to bandits.

“How can I be happy and indifferent to the senseless killings of my fellow citizens by bandits? I am human and I understand the pains of the victims and their families who have been traumatized and impoverished by constant ransom demands by bandits” – President @MBuhari
