He also appealed to corporate organisations and wealthy individuals to come to the aid of the victims in the mostly affected local government areas are Bassa and Riyom.
He described the carnage left behind by the bandits as “devastating” and “uncalled for”, especially at a time when the entire world was clamouring for peace and development to make human life worthwhile.

“I am deeply mourning with victims of banditry and insurgency and in total prayer for governments at all levels across the country to find a lasting solutions.
