The Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has condemned the attack on Ayilamo community in Logo Local Government Area of the state, which left four police officers and seven civilians dead.
Mr Alia also commended the State Security Services (SSS) for the arrest of three suspects allegedly connected with the attack.
The governor, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, on Friday, described the attack as a threat to the security and stability of the state.
“This despicable act is an attack on the peace-loving people of Ayilamo and a grave threat to the security and stability of Benue State,” Mr Alia said.
“The reported killing of four law enforcement officers is particularly painful and underscores the enormous sacrifices being made by security personnel in the line of duty.”
