With a bounty of N10 million placed on Gana, he had been accused of being behind the murder of the Ortom’s aide, Denen Igbana.
He is notorious for having terrorised the Ukum, Logo and Katsina-Ala local government areas of the state.
Ortom, on Friday, August 21 reiterated his earlier suggestion that Nigerians should be allowed to carry AK-47 rifles due to the security challenges faced in most parts of the country.
The governor repeated his stance while addressing journalists in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Earlier, Ortom had cried out over the rising crime rate and crisis going on in different parts of the state.
