“An assessment team will be set up to determine the persons affected, properties destroyed and lives lost with a view to offering support to the victims

 

“So far four (4) corpses have been recovered by the police.”

 

The commissioner further revealed the effort of Government to forestall possible reprisal by opposing groups, adding that committee will be inaugurated to avert impending occurrences.

 

He added, “In view of the severity of the attacks, government has taken proactive measures in engaging with religious groups and all other stakeholders with a view to averting reprisal attacks with directives to Chairmen of Local Government Councils to put churches under security surveillance to forestall likely attacks by some unscrupulous elements

 

“Government will set up a panel of inquiry to get to the remote and immediate causes of the incident to avert future occurrence

 

“The Council consoles the families of the deceased and prays for the quick recovery of the injured and those who lost property that God will replenish them.”
