The senator representing Kogi West senatorial district, Senator Sunday Karimi, has described as disheartening the recent attack and killing of two persons in his Kogi senatorial district.
Senator Karimi condemned the gruesome attacks on Odo Ape by unknown gunmen and assured that this would be the last of such attacks on the community.
The recent attack was coming barely one month after a councillor and eight other persons were kidnapped while others were injured in the same community.
The senator condemned in strong terms the attacks saying, “The killings of my people must stop”.
Senator Karimi who was reacting to the recent murder of two innocent citizens of Odo Ape by criminals masquerading as herdsmen, who he claimed are taking refuge in some forests of Kogi West, promised to do all that is physically and spiritually possible to get the criminals out of Kogi West forest.
Speaking further, he said, “I will do everything that is needed security-wise, even if it requires invoking the spirits of our forefathers”, to bring to an end the attack on his people.
The senator assured that he is already interfacing with the relevant security authorities, working with the state and federal governments, to ensure that the recent attack is the last on any community in his senatorial district.
He appealed to the youths of the community not to take laws into their hands, saying that the local, state and federal government have resolved to intervene on the security situation in the area with measures that would make it the last on any community in Kogi West.
