Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State has expressed shock and sympathy over the recent killing of 25 persons during a bandits attack in the Agojeju-Odo community of the Omala Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

Ododo, who spoke on the attack in Lokoja, regretted the ugly dimension that communal clashes between people in the area have assumed over time.<\/p>\n

He promised immediate intervention by his administration to forestall a recurrence of the unfortunate situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am assuring the citizens that the perpetrators of the dastardly act will be brought to justice soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready, security agencies are on the trail of the assailants whose acts of mindless cowardice resulted in the destruction of lives and property in the area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor has sent a delegation led by the state Deputy Gov., Elder Joel Oyibo-Salifu, on a condolence visit to the area.<\/p>\n

According to him, the kinetic and non-kinetic measures deployed by the state government have led to relative stability in the Omala Local Government Area until the recent escalation of the conflict.<\/p>\n

He further promised to deploy a detachment of the recently established Metropolitan Quick Response to the area to complement the existing security architecture in Omala LGA.<\/p>\n

Ododo, however, commiserated with relatives of those killed in the crisis and promised that the government would provide support for those injured and others whose houses were destroyed in the attack.<\/p>\n

Bandits reportedly killed at least 25 people and wounded an unspecified number of others in the LGA on April 4.<\/p>\n

The attack reportedly came in retaliation for local residents recently killing six herders.<\/p>\n
