“We are aware of the attack; two people were slain and seven more were taken hostage. According to Ukandu, the command is aware of the issue. “To make sure that peace returns to the area, we are collaborating with other security agencies.”
The spokesman assured that officers and men of command are dedicated to protecting lives and property, adding that police authorities in the state have already opened an investigation into the situation.
