Kogi governor, Alhaji Usman Ododo has said Kogi under his watch would remain one of the safest states in Nigeria.
He equally vowed to deploy available resources to bring the perpetrators of Ogbe killing to book and guarantee security in the area.
Recall two persons were allegedly killed on Friday by bandits at Ogbe Community in Yagba West Local Government Area of the state.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, who visited the community on Sunday on behalf of the governor, commiserated with the people over the dastardly act and assured them that government would do everything possible to bring the perpetrators to book and restore security in the area.
The governor assured the people that the state had all the forces required to tame criminality and defeat terror across the state.
Ododo urged the community to demonstrate confidence in the commitment of his administration to stamp out insecurity in the area and the state at large.
He, however, admonished the community not to take the law into its own hands by launching reprisal attacks and restated government’s determination to go after the perpetrators.
“President Bola Tinubu through the Armed Forces and security agencies is giving Kogi State all the necessary support to launch a holistic offensive on the agents of criminality.
“I assure you, Kogi would remain one of the safest states in the country,” he said.
