The Commissioner who made the appeal during an interview with Royal Times explained that government has not done anything wrong as it has only upgraded the stool of the Onigano of Ganmo to a third class grade and waiting for the ministry of justice to interpret the judgment from the law court.
Speaking on the development, the Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) of the state , DSP Femi Fabode confirmed that two people were killed, but noting that normalcy is returning to the area.
The PPRO said that fifteen people have been arrested and they will be charged to court as soon as possible.
