Yerima, who visited the community and commiserated with the bereaved families, vowed to take aggressive steps to curtail security threats across the local government area.
He, however, warned residents against acts that could contribute to security challenges in the area.
“Any individuals found harbouring criminals, collaborating with insurgents, or sabotaging local peace would face the full wrath of the law,” he said.
