The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has assured that the Federal Government will leave no stone unturned to ensure better security for all Nigerians following the recent deadly armed robbery attack in Offa, Kwara, state that left 17 people, including 9 policemen and 8 civilians, dead.
”We will learn the necessary lessons from this dastardly attack and factor them into developing a better security architecture for the country to ensure the safety and security of the people of Offa and indeed all Nigerians,” he said when he paid a condolence visit to the traditional ruler of Offa in Kwara State, Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi.
Alhaji Mohammed said though the armed robbers killed and maimed, they did not succeed in breaking the spirit of the people of Offa, who have continued bustling with energy and their trademark entrepreneurial spirit.
