 And as a first state, Governor Dowder Lowell has restated his vow to end the persisting problem of banditry in the state. Mr. Lowell spoke on Wednesday when he visited the community protection guards training camp and initiative of his administration to combat banditry in the state. A statement by the governor Spokesperson Suleiman Idris noted that the ongoing community protection guards training has instilled hope and confidence in the minds of the citizens with regard to the fight against insecurity in the state. Of course, as responsible government, we are doing everything humanly possible to protect lives and property. Of course, in between, there will always be issues. And that is why we have these people to be a first line of defense when it comes to such attacks. As for the number of victims that were taken as hostage, reliably I was told there about 40 people. And investigation is still ongoing and we're still doing our best to make sure we rescue those people. I'm very, very happy and excited seeing the people and the morale, which means they are ready and committed to serve. That is why I'm so happy and excited. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
