The police chief assured that all perpetrators of the mayhem would be brought to book
“Anybody that has a hand in this crisis must face the full wrath of law, we will not allow lawlessness; we remain committed to saving life and property of every citizens,” he said.
He appealed to the public to continue to live in peace, and assist the command with useful information to track the perpetrators.
