Borno State Goveror, Mr. Babagana Zulum has confirmed the arrest of the man that shot and killed the son of Pastor Bitrus Tumba during an outbreak of violence between a demolition task force of the Borno Geographic Systems (BOGIS), and worshipers at a branch of EYN church in Maiduguri weeks ago.
The Governor who made the disclosure yesterday during a condolence visit to the Pastor’s family, said the government will ensure that due investigations are conducted and appropriate punishment served
“So far, suspects have been quietly arrested and all those involved in that dastardly act are being detained and God willing, they will face justice, as soon as the Police complete their investigation and make appropriate recommendations.
“We shall do justice to the matter without fear or favour. We share your pains. No exercise of government is ever aimed to cause injury let alone the death of any citizen. Every person in Borno has equal rights and we have a duty to protect the rights of all persons, top of which is the security of lives.
“We are pained by what happened and we condole you and your family,” Zulum told those present.
