The Commissioner was reacting to spate of violence and restiveness perpetrated by youths in Minna that claimed two lives and left some injured following a fight between two rival youth groups at Maotumbi in Bosso local government area of the state earlier today.
This incident is in addition to the killing of a health worker three days ago by rampaging youths at Fadikpe while returning from work.
