Gov Bago decries robbery attack on Emir of Minna’s palace
Governor Mohammed Umaru-Bago has condemned the robbery attack on the cashier of the Emir of Minna, Ibrahim Sani, at the palace.
Mr Bago said this in a statement issued in Minna on Wednesday by his chief press secretary, Bologi Ibrahim. He described the robbery attack as unfortunate and the height of disregard for traditional institutions.
The governor said his administration would not fold its hands and allow criminals to inflict pain and sorrow on innocent people.
“This is highly unfortunate to have this kind of situation not just in the state capital but within the emir’s palace. My administration will not condone this act, as such security agents should do everything possible to arrest those involved in the criminal act,” said the Niger governor.
Mr Bago added, “I charge the security agencies to investigate and fish out the criminals with the view to prosecuting them.”
He sympathised with the Emir of Minna, Umar Farouk-Bahago, over the robbery attack and prayed to God to grant quick recovery to the injured.
