Families of victims of the recent church attack in Kogi State have commended the Department of State Services (DSS) for arresting a key suspect. The arrest has brought relief to the affected families, who praised the agency’s swift action in the matter.
Some relatives expressed hope that the suspect’s capture would lead to the unraveling of the full circumstances surrounding the attack. They urged security agencies to ensure justice is served and those responsible are brought to account.
One family member said, “We are grateful to the DSS for their prompt response. This arrest gives us hope that peace will return to our community.”
The DSS confirmed the arrest but withheld the suspect’s identity due to ongoing investigations. The agency assured the public of its commitment to tackling insecurity in the region and bringing perpetrators to justice.

Community leaders also applauded the DSS and called for increased security presence to prevent further incidents. They urged citizens to cooperate with security forces by reporting suspicious activities.
The arrest marks a significant step towards restoring calm in the troubled area. Residents remain hopeful that continued security efforts will protect them from future violence.
Authorities have promised to update the public as investigations progress. The families of victims continue to seek justice and healing following the tragic attack.
