He lamented the disregard for the values of human life and dignity, calling the acts \u201ca horrifying affront to all of us, a threat to humanity and human values.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a native of the state and the Minister of State, Defense, I wish to assure you of my unwavering commitment and resolve to implement the comprehensive decisions and policies of the Tinubu administration to defeat these threats and restore the lost glory of our beloved state and the country as a whole,\u201d Matawalle added.<\/p>\n
