The Governor commended the police and other security agencies for their efforts toward restoring peace to the state.

“I also commend the security chiefs for demonstrating the commitment to end this killing. But, we urge the security agencies to arrest and prosecute those behind this heinous act, that’s the only way the people will know that justice is served,” he said.
