GOV. Abdullahi Sule of Nassrawa State has condemned the attack on the residence of Mr Labaran Maku, former Minister of Information by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Peter Ahemba, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the governor on Public Affairs, issued on Sunday in Lafia.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that gunmen had, on Saturday night, broke into the residence of the former minister at Akun, Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area of the state.
The criminals, who injured four security personnel in the process, however, escaped when soldiers arrived the scene.
The governor, who described the incident as unfortunate, said he had directed the Police and other security agencies to arrest the criminal elements.
Sule reassured residents of government’s readiness to secure their lives and property, adding that the general well-being of the people was a top priority of his administration.
“The state government is working with security agencies to ensure that bandits fleeing from other parts of the country as a result of military onslaughts against them do not hide in Nassrawa State,” he said.
Sule also warned criminal elements operating under whatever guise to desist from such evil as they would surely be apprehended.
The governor sympathised with Maku over the unfortunate incident, and promised to stem the tide of insecurity in all parts of the state. (NAN).
