The Governor who stated that the incident is unacceptable, charged security operatives to find the killers and bring them to justice.
The Governor, in a press statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Terver Akase, equally urged the people of Ukum, Katsina-Ala and other parts of Sankera to assist security agents with information that can lead to the arrest of the bandits.
Governor Ortom says the current onslaught on criminals in that axis of the state which has decimated their strongholds and forced many of them to flee to other parts of the country, will be sustained.
He expressed deep condolences to the family of Chief Alabar over the painful loss and prays God to grant his soul eternal rest.
