The Governor maintained that the confession made by the arrested Boko Haram kingpin should not be a cause for alarm or panic.

He said the fact that Mohammed Bashir was apprehended at Isua Akoko in Akoko South East local government area of the state by security personnel before carrying out the dastardly act attested to the reality that government is on top of the security situation

Akeredolu commended the security operatives in the state for their prompt action and being alive to their responsibilities of providing security to the people.
