The Kogi State Government has offered five Million
Naira (N5,000,000.00) as reward to any body who can volunteer information on
those who terrorised and killed people in Ojuwo Ajamàgbe and Agbenema in Dekina
and Omala Local government areas of the State.
In a statement signed by the Director General, Media
and Publicity to the Governor, Kingsley Fanwo, he said the government was
immensely saddened by the attack on Agbenema, a peaceful community in Omala
Local Government Area of Kogi State by mercenaries reportedly working for
herdsmen in the area.
The Statement confirmed that a total of three
persons were killed, including Chief Musa Edibo, the Onu of Agbenema.
Fanwo further stated that other persons were also
injured and were currently hospitalised and were responding to treatment.
“On a happier note and contrary to trending reports
by all sections of the media, the wife of the murdered traditional chief was
neither injured nor killed. Though advanced in age and battling age-related
ailments, she interacted extensively with our officials who paid a condolence
visit to the community today,” he stated.
He said Intelligence reports showed that the
attackers at Agbenema on the afternoon of Monday, 19th March, 2018 appeared to
be the same group which attacked Ojuwo Ajamàgbe, near Oganenigu in Dekina Local
Government Area 5 days earlier.
”Kogi State Government and the security services are
sparing neither expense nor effort to track down these murderers and ensure
justice is served.
“We once again reiterate our total commitment as a
Government to the security of lives and properties in the State; the protection
extends to all peaceful and law-abiding citizens and residents, irrespective of
religion or tribe.
“The public is therefore urged to call or send
messages in this regard to 0705 889 0048,” the statement read.
