The Kebbi State Police Command has beefed up security presence in Bui District of Arewa Local Government, following the brutal killing of 33 people in four villages on Wednesday in the state.

The State Police Command in collaboration with the Military and other security agencies, additional personnel and operational assets have been deployed, and sustained area domination patrols to maintain stability.

In a press statement made available to newsmen by Police Spokesman Bashir Usman said the Command deeply regrets the loss of thirty-three innocent lives and extends its heartfelt condolences to the families affected and the entire Arewa community.

He said Preliminary investigations revealed that armed Lakurawa militants entered the area to rustle cattle. 

The assailants according to the statement were alleged to have crossed into the district from Gudu Local Government Area of Sokoto State. 

The Command emphasizes that incidents involving armed criminal elements require coordinated security intervention, he therefore urged members of the public to promptly report suspicious movements through established security channels rather than engage directly, as such confrontations pose grave risks.

"Targeted operations are ongoing to track and apprehend the perpetrators, prevent recurrence, and strengthen on early warning mechanisms." He assured.
