Addressing the people of the Community, the Governor, who was bitterly furious at the development, stated that he would readily append his signature to the death warrant of convicted informants. He, therefore, described the leaking of vital government information to bandits as devilish.
Gov. Idris stated, “The activities of informants defy all norms and religious doctrines. Just for a pittance, some miscreants will provide valuable information to bandits to perpetrate mayhem against their people.
“I will never condone or be lenient with such unscrupulous persons.
“Let it be known to the informants that whoever is convicted for volunteering information that led to the killing of innocent souls by bandits will surely face the law. I will sign his death warrant instantly,” the Governor warned.

He pointed that he would place emphasis on logistics, welfare of troops and other material requirements. He said the security agencies must be combat ready and work towards operational successes.
The Governor also accepted the request for immediate rehabilitation of the three kilometre road linking the village with Wasagu. The Road had become impassable due to bridge collapse.
