The CP also assured the Governor that, the Command under his watch will leave no stone unturned until the killers of the officers are arrested.

He maintained that security has been beefed up in Oyigbo Local Governor Area and adjoining Communities to guide against further breakdown of law and order. He equally extended the gratitude of the Command on the Governor’s promise of rebuilding all the Stations affected in attack.
