During his return journey, the Governor passed through the historic town of Biling, where he inspected several sites and landmarks linked to the liberation struggle. He also met with community leaders from Thonic, Biling, and Aduel bomas, who welcomed him and raised key challenges facing the area, particularly the ongoing incidents of cattle theft.
In response, the Governor reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to continuing efforts to combat cattle rustling and enhance peace and stability across Lakes State, stressing the need for strict enforcement of the law against those involved in such crimes.
