Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Sunday visited Plateau State to commiserate with victims of recent killings in the Bokkos area. Describing the attacks as “senseless killings,” Obi condemned the violence, stressing that no Nigerian should live in fear in a country not at war.
Obi travelled from Abuja to Jos and then to Bokkos, where he met with displaced persons, including children affected by the attacks. He expressed deep sorrow over the devastation and loss, stating that every Nigerian life is valuable and must be protected.
“My deepest condolences go to the families and communities who have suffered tragic losses. No words can truly capture the pain and devastation that such senseless violence brings,” Obi said.
In addition to his visit, Obi announced a donation of N7.5 million to support displaced children, sustain their education, and provide for ongoing needs. He also highlighted previous contributions by the Obidient Movement, which included the construction of a borehole to provide clean water for the IDP camp.
“Now, more than ever, leadership and compassion are essential. I stand in solidarity with Plateau State and remain committed to supporting all efforts toward peace, justice, and healing,” he added.
