President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has strongly condemned the recent deadly attacks in Plateau State, vowing swift justice for the victims and decisive action against those responsible.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the President expressed deep sorrow over the tragic killings in Ruwi, Hurti, and Tadai communities in Bokkos Local Government Area, as well as in Manguna and Dafo villages.
The coordinated attacks resulted in significant loss of life and widespread destruction of property.
“The latest attacks on defenceless citizens are unacceptable,” Tinubu declared. “I have directed security agencies to hunt down the attackers, and they will face severe punishment when apprehended.”
President Tinubu extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and the Plateau State Government, assuring Governor Caleb Mutfwang of the federal government’s full support in putting an end to the cycle of violence.
He called on local residents to cooperate with security agencies by providing information that could aid in the capture of the perpetrators.
Additionally, Tinubu instructed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to collaborate with state authorities to deliver humanitarian aid and assist the affected communities in rebuilding.
“No community should have to endure such tragedy,” Tinubu stated. “We all must unite to foster peace and stability, embracing our shared humanity and rejecting retaliation.”
