Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo has vowed to deploy available resources to bring the perpetrators of Ogbe killings to book and guarantee security in the area.
Newspot recalls that bandits allegedly killed two persons on Friday at Ogbe community in Yagba West Local Government Area of the state.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, visited the community on Sunday on behalf of the governor.
He sympathized with the people over the dastardly act and assured them that the government would do everything possible to bring the perpetrators to book and restore security in the area.
The governor assured the people that the state had all the forces required to tame criminality and defeat terror across the state.
Ododo urged the community to demonstrate confidence in the commitment of his administration to stamp out insecurity in the area and the state at large.
He, however, admonished the community not to take the law into its hands by launching reprisal attacks and restated the government’s determination to go after the perpetrators.
“President Bola Tinubu through the Armed Forces and security agencies is giving Kogi State all the necessary support to launch a holistic offensive on the agents of criminality.
“I assure you, Kogi will remain one of the safest states in the country,” he said.
