PPresident Bola Tinubu yesterday described the overnight massacre of 30 persons, including women and children in Southern Kaduna, North-west Nigeria, as an unprovoked act of terror against defenceless citizens.

The president also vowed that those behind the latest mass killings in the area will be brought to justice, declaring that his administration will not allow criminal elements to reverse the security gains recorded in Kaduna State in recent years.
