Following the recent bandit attack in Kaduna, President Muhammadu Buhari has received a security briefing from Nasir el-Rufai, governor of the state.

The governor was on Tuesday accompanied to the state house by Samuel Aruwan, Kaduna commissioner for internal security and home affairs.

Gunmen had, over the weekend, attacked Kauran Fawa, Marke and Riheya villages in Idasu, Giwa LGA.

The attackers had destroyed properties and set ablaze farm produce and vehicles.

While condemning the attack, President Buhari had reiterated his directive to security and intelligence chiefs to do everything to destroy the bandits.

Giving an update on the situation on Tuesday, Aruwan said the death toll had risen to 40.
