He said the governor had shown exceptional restraints in the face of provocation and called on the Inspector-General of Police to carry out his constitutional duties by going after those, who had decided to burn down government infrastructures in the state.
He added that the state had sacrificed so much for peace and the government should not allow any person or group of persons to perpetrate such unpatriotic acts without legitimate repercussions.
