We apologise to the family of Aisha and others for the arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also stated that the state government is concerned about the sufferings of residents of the state, adding that the administration of Governor Mohammed Umar Bago is not resting on its oars as drastic measures will soon be adopted to address their plights.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioner stated: \u201cAs a government, we feel their pains. The state government is aware of the hardships the people are going through. On the day of the protest, the state governor at our council meeting was talking about looking for a solution to the issue when a distressed call came about the violent protest and people took the law into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe immediately sent the Deputy Governor to the scene in order to calm the situation, but the rioting crowd turned violent. The protesters embarked on the protest without seeking the permission of the police. And, since it turned violent, those responsible had to be arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
