Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is saddened by the death of a gallant forest guard, Mr. Omotosho Olawuyi Samuel, who fell during a courageous encounter with some kidnappers in Koro community of Ekiti Local Government Area.

The Governor commended the bravery and patriotism of the forest guards and local vigilantes who launched an assault on the fleeing kidnappers.

Governor announced a N10m support for the family of the operative as a token of government’s gratitude for his sacrifice — apart from him going down as a hero of the people’s collective war against banditry.

He commiserates with the family of Mr. Samuel and his comrades who bravely fought along with him.

“He is our hero, and we ask God to give succour to his family,” a statement quoted the Governor as saying.
