President Bola Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has vowed to deal with the perpetrators behind the recent tragic killings in Mafa, Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State.

Assuring the people of Yobe State that justice will be served, the President stated that the perpetrators of the sinister act will have an inevitable encounter with justice.
