Kogi Speaker condemns robbery attack in Isanl, commiserates with the people of the community
Rt. Hon. Prince Matthew Kolawole, Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly has described the senseless and gruesome killing of police officers and some residents of Isanlu community in Yagba East Local Government Area of the state as condemnable, stressing that it is sad for the people to witness such magnitude of criminality.
He said his heart bled when he received and watched the footage of the activities of the hoodlums, noting that it is heartless for any human being under any guise to perpetrate such heinous crimes.
He said security of lives and properties being one of the major cardinal point of the new direction administration under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello, he is confident that the perpetrators will be apprehended in no distant time for prosecution.
He called on the people of the state to remain vigilant and ready to share information with the security agencies as that will enable the government to tackle insecurity in the state headlong.
He commiserated with the traditional leadership, immediate family of those that lost lives, the Nigeria Police authority in the state, Yagba East Local Government and the people of Isanlu community over the attacks and lost of precious lives.
He prayed that God in his infinite mercy will grant the departed souls eternal rest and the individual families and Isanlu community the fortitude to bear the irreparable lost.
May their souls rest in perfect peace

Femi Olugbemi,
Chief Press Secretary to the Honourable Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly
