Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has increased the reward for information leading to the capture of those responsible for the killing of five soldiers at Obikabia junction in Aba from ₦25 million to ₦30 million.
Otti made this announcement on Friday during a visit by Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area.
