The party described the killings as a satanic act by disloged and fleeing terrorists.
“Indeed, the recent designation of these satanic, evil and criminal elements as terrorist groups will further buoy our security services to deal with them and ultimately contain their nefarious activities in the country.
“We commend and urge support for the military and other security services whose concerted onslaught on the camps of the criminals is ensuring the rescue of kidnapped citizens and neutralising the criminal elements.
“Already, the terrorists (formerly bandits) are now fleeing as troops clearance operations have forced their dislodgement from their enclaves. We urge Nigerians to watch out and report any suspicious movements,” the statement added.
The party however commended President Muhammadu Buhari for inspiring the Military to deal with the criminal gangs who are threatening the peace and territorial integrity of the nation.
