The statement disclosed that the Governor had directed the State Emergency Management Agency to immediately move to the affected community to provide victims of the attack with necessary support and assistance.
Yero called on people in the affected community to remain calm as security agencies were already investigating the matter with the aim of bringing the perpetrators to book.
