The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has condemned the killing of 18 wedding guests from Basawa in Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, describing the incident in Plateau State as a premeditated act of evil and a grim reflection of Nigeria's worsening security crisis.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Professor Abubakar Jiddere, NEF said the victims, including women and children, were ambushed, hacked to death, and burned alive while en route to a wedding in Quan-Pan Local Government Area.

His words: "This was not a case of mistaken identity. It was not random. It was an act of evil.
