Bank Robbery: Gov. Bello Releases N10m For Victims’ Burial In Kogi
The Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Edward Onoja, has disclosed that the state Governor has released 10m for the burial of bank robbery in the state
The sum of 10 million has been released by the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, for the burial of the victims of the recent armed robbery attack in the Yagba East Local Government Area of the state.
The development was revealed by the Deputy Governor of the state, Edward Onoja, on Twitter.
“Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has released the sum of 10 million nairas to support the burial rites of the slain victims of the unfortunate Isanlu robbery attack which claimed about 10 lives,” he wrote.
Recall that the armed robbery attack at the Isanlu branch of First Bank of Nigeria Limited led to the death of several police officers, while some passers-by lost their lives in the robbery.
Inspector-General of Police, Muhammed Adamu, who condemned the attack last week called for the apprehension of the suspect who also invaded the Divisional Police Headquarters in Isanlu, and killed some officers on duty.
“The IGP has deployed a team of crack detectives from the Intelligence Response Team, the Special Tactical Squad, and Federal-SARS to Kogi State to ensure that the criminals are apprehended and brought to book.”
