The victims hailed from Bunkure, Kibiya, Rano and Garko LGAs.

The deputy president of the Senate met the families of the victims at the At-Taqwa Mosque in the Sabon Fegi area of the Bunkure LGA yesterday.

This was contained in a statement by the special adviser to the Deputy Senate President on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir.

Senator Barau was joined by the minister of state for Housing and Urban Development, Hon Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, the managing director of the North West Development Commission (NWDC), Professor Abdullahi Shehu Ma’aji, and other dignitaries.

The special adviser on media and publicity said Senator Barau reassured the families of the deceased hunters that the perpetrators would be brought to book.

In addition to the 14 suspects, he said security agents had nabbed two more persons in connection with the killing of the hunters.

He announced the donation of N1m to each of the families of the 16 deceased hunters, totalling N16m.

The deputy president of the Senate said he would sponsor a motion on the matter when the Senate resumes later this month.

“I’m here to sympathise with you over the tragic incident that led to the death of 16 of our brothers last Thursday. May Allah grant them Jannatul Firdaus and quicken the recovery of those injured.

“I was worried when the incident happened. I had to call the state governor, security agencies and all stakeholders involved. They swung into action, and so far apart from the 14 people who have been arrested, two more suspects have been nabbed.

The state governor, who visited my house in Abuja, has assured me that the state government will support you.

” We will not take it lightly. We will ensure that the culprits are brought to book and face the wrath of the law,” he stated.

Speaking on behalf of the families, the Chief Imam of the area, Sheikh Zainul Abidina Auwal, thanked Senator Barau for his efforts in ensuring justice and described him as the leader needed for the country’s development.
