The attack on the home of Representative Solomon Wombo, who represents the Katsina-Ala/Ukum/Logo Federal Constituency of the state, has been denounced by Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State.
Tersoo Kula, his chief press secretary, made this claim in a statement on Monday in Makurdi.
Gunmen broke into the lawmaker’s Makurdi home on Saturday and demanded to know where he was.
His housekeeper was left seriously hurt by them.
The announcement claims that the governor is offering a N10 million reward to anyone who can provide important information that results in the suspects’ apprehension.
The governor made it clear that his government would not stand by while criminals terrorized the state’s defenseless citizens.
He declared that his government would exert every effort to guarantee that the culprits were apprehended and subjected to the full force of the law.
He gave security services orders to step up their efforts to apprehend the suspects and prosecute them in addition to making sure that everyone living in the state is safer and more secure.
The governor asked people to maintain their composure and gave their word that his administration would not back down in its efforts to purge the state of all illegal activity.
