The meeting was attended by chairman, Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority, Alh Abdullateef Alakawa, senior special assistant to the governor on Security, Alh Muyideen Aliyu,  chairman of Ifelodun LG, Alh Femi Yusuf chairman of Ilorin West LG,  Mal. AbdulRahaman Ladan, chairman of Asa LG,  Alh Shehu Yahaya; and families of the victims.

Alakawa and Yusuf, in their separate remarks, commended the governor’s gesture, which they said will go a long way in ameliorating the suffering of the bereaved families.

They also lauded the Governor for his unrelenting efforts to rout out criminals and restore a lasting peace in the affected parts of the state.

The government has meanwhile supplied new logistics support, including fighting equipment and motorcycles, for the forest guards and vigilantes maintained by communities in the flash points.

The new logistics have positioned the forest guards and the vigilantes to better haunt down the kidnappers and defend their communities — a practical complement to the efforts of the conventional security forces.
