"Some of the cardinal principles of my pact with Nigerians is the responsibility to protect and fight insecurity to the barest minimum. I am, therefore, always saddened by the reports of violence, terror attacks and criminality in any part of the country. I am shocked by the reports of terror attack on Ungwan Wakili community in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State with high casualties. I condemn the act in its entirety. The job of securing Nigeria and Nigerians must form the top priority of any serious government in power. In building a New Nigeria, where Nigerians can feel safe and free, the security agents must live up to their duties. I urge them to bring the perpetrators of these attacks to book. May God grant eternal rest to those who lost their lives in this terrorist attack and console their bereaved families. #PeterObi 🇳🇬".  One more photo below.

Istanbul residents fear a quake will bury them alive 12 March 2023  The crack in Mesut Muttaliboglu's bedroom wall is so wide, he can fit a car key into it. He turns it sideways, and with a flick of his wrist, a large chunk of plaster flies off the wall and crashes to the ground. It's why he and his family are moving out of the flat they've lived in for the last 15 years. The whole building has been condemned after failing an earthquake safety test. There's a very high chance that a tremor would bring this whole block crashing to the ground. Here in Istanbul, fear is growing. The two powerful earthquakes in Turkey's south that claimed almost 50,000 lives have brought a new urgency to its biggest city. Home to 15 million people, it sits on the North Anatolian fault line, and experts predict it's due its own major earthquake before 2030. Around 70% of the city's buildings were built before rule changes that enforced stricter construction standards in 1999, and

Southern Kaduna Attack: Death Toll Rises To 17 The death toll from last night’s attack on Ungwan Wakili community in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State has risen to 17. Our correspondent who visited the scene of the attack counted 14 corpses recovered this morning, aside from the one person killed yesterday and the two people that died in the hospital. The PUNCH gathered from the military on the ground that aside from the pockets of complaints of cow poisoning and destruction of farm produce by the locals and Fulani, which they have been resolving, the recent attack might be due to the killing of a Fulani herder four days ago in Ungwan Juju apparently in retaliation of the killing of one of their locals last month Speaking to newsmen, the council chairman, Zango Kataf Local Government, Mr Francis Sani Zimbo, condemned the barbaric attack assuring that investigations are on to unravel the perpetrators to bring them to book.
