The governor had made the promise to the protesters two days
ago.
Some hoodlums had reportedly attacked the police and killed a
Corporal Etaga Stanley attached to the ‘A’ Division in Ughelli last
week.
They also stole his AK 47 with 25 rounds of live ammunition
stolen. However, the stolen rifle has been recovered by the
Police.
