The Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has condemned the armed robbery attacks on some commercial banks in Otukpo town.

According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Alia, Tersoo Kulo, the governor described the robbery incident as an affront on the state; especially that it took place at the exact time the Security Council meeting was in progress in Government House Makurdi.

The Governor sympathized with the families of those who were gruesomely murdered by the robbers during the robbery.

He said, “It is an unfortunate development that people who were on duty, especially police officers, were shot and killed in cold blood by those mindless robbers.
