“I commiserate with the government and people of Zamfara on the cold-blooded murder by armed bandits of 36 persons at Bindin in Maru Local Government Area,” Buhari said via Twitter on Tuesday, November 8.

“These killings are utterly condemnable. I am in touch with Gov. Abdulaziz Yari and being briefed on on-going investigations,” he added.

Meanwhile, the police in the state have blamed the attack on cattle rustlers.
