He lamented, “I am saddened by the news of the late night attack on the peaceful Ambe community in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Reports reaching me said the brutal attack by suspected bandits claimed the lives of six innocent people while eight others sustained injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment.
“I strongly condemn this heinous act, which is another attempt to destabilize the peace and security in my constituency and our dear state. It is unacceptable that our people cannot live in peace without fear of being attacked by these criminal elements.”

The spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Mansir Hassan could not be reached as of the time of filing the report.
