Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku has commiserated with the people of Ardo Kola Local Government Area of the state and members of the immediate family of Salihu Dovo, chairman of the Local Government who was kidnapped and assassinated on Sunday.
Gov Ishaku, in a condolence message, condemned the act as barbaric and wicked and assured that the perpetrators would not be allowed to go scot-free.
He directed security agencies to step up investigations to fish out the murderers so that they could be made to face the law.
He described the late chairman as a good man, a man with an abiding love for service to humanity and who certainly did not deserve to die in the circumstances that he did.

His death has robbed Ardo Kola and the entire Taraba State of his invaluable services, Ishaku said and prayed God to give his family and the people of Ardo Kola the fortitude to bear his loss.
