He called on residents to remain calm and law-abiding, urging them to cooperate with security agencies by providing useful and timely information that could lead to the arrest of those behind the attack.
On the passing of the mother of the Osoho of Olosoho, Governor Sule prayed for the repose of her soul, asking Allah to grant her Aljannat Firdausi and to give the bereaved family the fortitude to bear the loss.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s zero tolerance for criminality, stressing that efforts would continue to strengthen security and protect lives and property in all parts of Nasarawa State.
