The Kebbi State Government has responded to the recent massacre in Waje District, Danko-Wasagu LGA, with a condolence visit and financial support. At least 15 farmers were killed and three injured in a deadly attack that shocked the community.
Leading a government delegation on Saturday, Deputy Governor Senator Umar Abubakar Tafida visited the victims' families and presented N24 million in financial aid on behalf of Governor Nasir Idris. The donation is intended to support the bereaved families and assist the injured in receiving medical care.
During a stop at the palace of the District Head of Waje, Tafida emphasized that the gesture was a show of empathy from the state government. He reassured residents that proactive security measures would be introduced to safeguard rural communities.
The District Head, Hon. Bala Danbaba, expressed appreciation for the gesture but stressed the need for sustained security presence due to the area’s proximity to Niger, Zamfara, and Sokoto States—regions often targeted by armed groups.
Chairman of Danko-Wasagu LGA, Alhaji Hussaini Aliyu Bena, confirmed the casualty figures and urged the government to intensify efforts to restore safety and confidence.
The deputy governor was accompanied by prominent state leaders, including Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, Hon. Kabir Tukura, and Speaker Muhammad Usman Zuru, among others.
