“We condemn this heinous act, share the grief of the security agencies and convey our sincere condolences.’’
The governor, who charged the security agencies to be vigilant, said that the government and people of Rivers “are in solidarity with security agencies at this difficult times of this unwarranted and mindless violence’’.
