He describes the arrest as a significant step towards uncovering the full circumstances of the incident and bringing those responsible to justice.


Governor Alia however assures that his administration will continue to collaborate with the security agencies to strengthen security in Ayilamo, Logo, and other vulnerable communities across the State. 


The Governor further assures the people of Ayilamo and the entire State that they will not be abandoned.
