Deputy Governor Gwarzo thanked the Edo state government for his responsive action after the incident and called for an open and responsible process.

“You promise us justice, and we believe you will give. Sixteen we die – men, women and youth. We owe the truth and certainty to their families that their death will not be in vain,” Gwarzo said.

Present at the meeting were the main state officials, including Deputy Governor of State Edo Dennis Idahosa, speakers thanks to the Edo State Council, Agbebaku, and the Head of Security from the two states.

After the meeting, the Governor of Okpebholo and Kano’s delegation traveled to Uromi to meet with members of the Hausa community and assess the situation directly.

Efforts to find joint facts are expected to offer clarity, foster cooperation between countries, and build trust among the community when the government is trying to overcome the roots of ethnic motivated violence.
