“The government is putting all hands on deck to ensure the attackers do not escape justice,” the statement read.

“Every life in Kogi State is important, and we need the cooperation of our people to end criminal activities,” the statement emphasized.

“Security operatives have already been deployed to Odo Ape and other flashpoints in the area to restore peace and ensure the protection of lives and properties. The government assured residents that normalcy would be restored within hours,” the Commissioner stated.

Governor Ododo further pledged that those who lost their lives in the attack would not be forgotten and vowed to build the state’s capacity to combat criminal elements effectively.
