In a statement signed by his Director of Press Affairs, Mr. Gyang Bere, the Governor warned perpetrators of these dastardly acts to desist forthwith, as the government is determined to fish them out to face justice.
While appreciating the intervention of Security Agencies in the protection of lives and property in the state, Governor Mutfwang urged them to redouble their efforts in discharging their constitutional responsibility of protecting innocent communities.
He expressed deep sympathy to the bereaved families and the affected communities and prayed for the quick healing of those who sustained gunshot injuries.
The Governor called on community stakeholders across the state to activate dispute resolution mechanisms in tackling issues of disagreement and to report without delay any early warning signs to constituted authorities for prompt intervention.
He urged for vigilance and the fostering of inter-community relations by residents of the state, particularly now that the rainy season is gearing up to ensure a safer and successful farming period.
