Pantami Condemns Katsina Mosque Massacre, Urges Security Agencies to Deploy Technology

Former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, has condemned the killing of worshippers in a mosque attack in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State, describing it as an “inhumane and heartless act.”

Pantami, who is also Co-Chairman of the African Union’s 4th Industrial Revolution Policy Council (ASRIC), expressed his condolences to the families of victims, the Unguwan Mantau community, and the people of Katsina State following the tragedy that occurred on Tuesday.

According to a report by PRNigeria and local sources, at least 27 worshippers were killed and several others injured when armed bandits stormed a mosque during the dawn (Fajr) prayer. Community leaders and hospital officials confirmed the casualties.

Quoting a hadith of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), Pantami noted the spiritual significance of the Fajr prayer and lamented that innocent people were killed while observing one of the most challenging but rewarding acts of worship. He described the attackers as “worse than animals” and accused them of betraying the essence of humanity.

Calling for decisive action, the former minister urged security agencies to intensify efforts to track down the perpetrators and end the “criminality of the highest order.” He reiterated his long-standing recommendation that Nigerian security forces adopt geospatial analysis using mobile location data, cell tower signals, and GPS tracking to identify and apprehend bandits.

“Security agencies may wish to use geospatial analysis using location data from phones, which could help track the phones in the environment at the time the crime was committed. This is something I have been recommending for six years, privately and otherwise,” he stated.

Pantami prayed for the repose of the victims’ souls, asking Allah to accept them as martyrs and grant their families the fortitude to bear the loss. He also prayed for peace, stability, and security across Nigeria.
