He said: “We sympathise with all the victims’ families, including the police and other security agencies, as well as all those who lost their loved ones and other valuables in the recent disturbances.
“The South- East leaders will engage our youths to ensure sustainable peace in the region and a glorious future for our children.
“Each state in the South- East will set up a fund to assist the victims of the crisis, including the police, the army, and other security agencies, as well as the civilians.”
