Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has condemned Saturday’s attack on the private residence of a Member representing Katsina-Ala/Ukum/Logo Federal Constituency, Hon Solomon Wombo.
He has also placed a N10 million bounty as a reward for anyone with information that would lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.
Recall that in the late hours of last Saturday, some armed men invaded the residence of Hon. Wombo, and desperately demanded to know his whereabouts.
They also insisted the main flat of the house must be opened for them to search.
It was gathered that his housekeeper was brutalized, leaving him with various degrees of injuries during the attack.
The Governor emphasizes that his administration will not watch criminals terrorize innocent people in the state, promising that his government will do everything in its power to ensure the suspects are arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.
He said the government would offer N10 million to anyone who would give useful information that would lead to the arrest of the suspects.
He charged security agencies to work tirelessly to locate the suspects and bring them to face the full force of the law, while also ensuring greater security and safety for all citizens of the state.
Governor Alia urged the Benue people to remain calm, assuring that his administration will not rest on its oars until the state is made free of every form of criminality.
