At least 42 members of a vigilante group were killed by terrorists in the Yargoje forest of Kankara in Katsina State Thursday evening, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The police confirmed the killing and said two other vigilante members were injured during the attack.

President Muhammadu Buhari Sunday condemned the massacre of the 42 members of the vigilante group, Yan Sakai.

The Katsina State government has also said it would inaugurate a panel of inquiry to investigate what led to the massacre.

In a statement signed by Garba Shehu, a presidential media aide, Mr Buhari paid tribute to the vigilante members and their family members.

He said they died as martyrs having died trying to prevent and punish crime in their communities.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families in this difficult period. May Allah repose the soul of the deceased,” the president said.

The security adviser to the state government, Ibrahim Katsina, made this known to journalists Saturday night while reacting to the killing.

He said the aim of the panel was to investigate what actually happened that led to the “disheartening” killing.

“His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Aminu Bello Masari is concerned with the development and has directed that a commission of inquiry and investigation panel be set up to identify the immediate and remote causes of the incident in order for us to be more proactive in addressing these challenges.
