Governor Sani also expressed sympathy to the people of Sayasaya in Ikara Local Government over the tragic loss of lives in the Friday night attack by bandits, promising to bring the culprits book.
He emphasised that the security of lives and property is a top priority of his administration, and he will not tolerate conflict entrepreneurs moving freely across the State.
