Ganduje said the NWC was in the state to identify with the government and people of the state at this trying moment of callous attack and senseless killing of innocent people.
He said: “We are part of the Yobe family, we feel the pain and sorrow suffered by the government and people of Yobe state, and we are here to condole with our brothers and sisters over this very sad incident.”
He called on the government and security agencies to strengthen the existing synergy to effectively fight the menace.
He consoled the families of the victims, expressing optimism that the state would soon come out of it by the special grace of God.
Yobe State Governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni commended the NCW for identifying with the government and people of the state over the sad and unfortunate incident.
He said: “This visit gives us a sense of belonging, we feel cared for by the party and the leadership.
“On behalf of the government and good people of Yobe state, l thank you and appreciate you for coming.”
He assured the cooperation of his administration for improved synergy with the security agencies.
The Governor assured that the state government would continue to support the army, police, other security organisations, and the vigilante group to beef up security across the state.

Troops have arrested the second-in-command to a notorious bandit kingpin, Kachalla Auta, alongside his wife in Gombe State following an intelligence-led tracking operation across multiple locations.
Sources said the suspects, identified as Bala, popularly known as “Pakapaka,” and his wife, Zulaha Bala, were intercepted after fleeing from Dajin Madam Forest in Plateau State.
According to the sources, the arrests were the result of sustained intelligence surveillance and coordinated ground tracking by security operatives targeting fleeing members of the criminal network.
The suspects are currently in custody and undergoing interrogation to determine their level of involvement in the group’s activities and possible connections with other cells operating within and outside the region.
In a related development, troops conducted follow-up patrols around Bayar village in the Duguri axis after intelligence indicated that the main bandit kingpin had fled into the area.
However, no contact was made during the search operation.
Security sources said troops have continued to dominate the general area with sustained patrols aimed at denying criminal elements freedom of movement and disrupting their operational networks across Plateau, Taraba, and adjoining states.

Troops conducting ongoing clearance operations under Operation Wutan Daji have rescued 12 kidnapped victims and arrested key associates of a fleeing bandit leader during coordinated offensives across forested areas linking Plateau and Taraba States.
A military source said the operations, carried out on April 15 and 16, involved troops of the 33 Artillery Brigade in conjunction with an Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) tactical team.
According to the source, the operations were conducted in the Dajin Madam and Kumbodoro forest axis, spanning parts of Plateau and Taraba States.

The victims were subsequently taken into custody for profiling before being moved to an Internally Displaced Persons facility in Fukuk.
Troops also recovered a Dane gun, a fabricated AK-47 rifle and a power bank during the operation.
