The Commissioner commiserate with the families of those who lost their lives in the heinous criminal act and other reported attacks in the area.
He made it clear that the Police, with the active support and collaboration of other security agencies, will leave no stone unturned in fishing out the assailants and perpetrators of other acts of attack and murder in the area.
He reassured members of the Eha-Amufu community of the avowed commitment of the Security Agencies to deploy both kinetic and non-kinetic measures to decisively deal with untoward security breaches in the area, while enjoining them to remain law-abiding, cooperating with the Joint Security Team and avoid acting in ways that could further breach public security and peace in the area.
He also ordered the further deployment of operational and intelligence resources to the area, while also ordering the State CID to thoroughly investigate the incident, harmonize ongoing investigations into other recent criminal incidents in the community and come up with actionable findings.
The Commissioner has dispelled in its entirety the news making the rounds that rather than goods and some travellers, as the preliminary investigation has revealed, the truck was instead loaded with firearms, ammunition and bandits describing the rumour as baseless, misleading and an act of disinformation capable of creating unnecessary panic and escalating the situation in the area.
The commissioner thereby warned the creators and peddlers of such fake news to desist forthwith, as they will be made to face the full wrath of the law if apprehended.
