In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Political Affairs, Peter Ahemba, Governor Sule described the incident as unfortunate and has since directed the Police and other security agencies in the state to ensure that the criminals are brought to book.
He further reassured that, as a responsible Government, the security of lives and property as well as the general well-being of the citizens will continue to top priority by his administration.
“The State Government is already partnering with the top Military Command, the Police, and other Para-military agencies to ensure that the bandits fleeing from other parts of the country as a result of military offensive do not have a hiding place in Nasarawa State”.
