The attack by unknown armed men resulted in the death of several villagers and destruction of properties worth millions of Naira.

He said what happened was unacceptable and called on the relevant security agents to go after the killers and their sponsors and bring them to book. He said nothing short of arrest and prosecution of the criminals who, according to him, have no value for human lives, would be accepted. He sympathized with families who lose loved ones and those displaced from their homes. He promised to work with the relevant authorities to ensure that they are well taken-cared of at the temporary IDP camp pending when they will return home.
