The Kogi State government has offered N5 million as a reward to anybody who provides information that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators behind the recent killings in some communities in Dekina and Omala LGAs of the state.
In a statement signed by the Director General, Media and Publicity to the Governor, Kingsley Fanwo said the government was “immensely saddened” by the attack at Agbenema community in Omala Local Government Area which led to the death of a traditional ruler, Musa Edibo and two others.
According to the statement, intelligence reports showed that the attackers at Agbenema on the afternoon of Monday, March 19, “appear to be the same group which attacked Ojuwo Ajamàgbe, near Oganenigu in Dekina Local Government Area 5 days earlier.”
