Gov. AbdulRazaq via the statement conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and other comrades of the union leader as well as the labour communities in the state.
Describing the deceased as a fine gentleman, the governor prayed God to console everyone affected with the untimely death.
“I also condole with the families of other victims of the attack.
“The tragic incident, like those before it, is an attack on all the people of Nigeria. We are confident that the security agencies will not spare any resources to get the criminals behind it, as already directed by the President.
