Abdulfatah Ahmed, governor of Kwara state, has
offered N5 million for information that will lead to the arrest of the
perpetrators of the robbery attack in Offa town.
On Thursday, police officers and
residents were killed when armed robbers attacked five banks and a police
station.
The robbers reportedly struck for
about one hour after blocking the Ilorin and Osogbo access points into the
town.
In a statement on Saturday,
Muyideen Akorede, media aide to the governor, quoted Ahmed as saying that
anyone who has useful information should contact the state police command on
the following numbers – 0803 739 1280 and 0803 236 5122.
The governor assured prospective
informants that they would be kept safe and no harm would befall them for
assisting the security agencies to arrest the attackers.
He said his administration would
do everything to ensure that the perpetrators of the robbery are brought to
justice.
Ahmed said the police and other
security agencies have already begun a manhunt for the perpetrators of the
robbery.
“While we mourn our dead with a
heart full of sadness, and care for the injured by paying all their medical
bills, we will do everything in our power to bring the attackers to justice and
ensure that never again does any community or people in our state experience
such tragedy,” the statement read.
