President Bola Tinubu has vowed to bring to justice the gunmen responsible for the recent wave of brutal attacks on communities in Plateau State, describing the killings as “unacceptable” and a threat to national peace.
In a statement released on Saturday by Presidential Spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the President expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives in Ruwi, Hurti, and Tadai communities in Bokkos LGA, as well as in Manguna and Dafo villages.
“The latest attacks on defenceless citizens are unacceptable. I have directed security agencies to hunt down the attackers, and they will face severe punishment when apprehended,” Tinubu said.
He urged residents to cooperate with security operatives by providing actionable information that can help track down the perpetrators, adding that such “intermittent attacks should have no place in our country.”
President Tinubu also extended condolences to the families of the victims and to Governor Caleb Mutfwang, assuring the Plateau State government of his full support. He directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to work with state authorities to provide relief and help affected communities rebuild.
“No community should have to endure such tragedy. We all must unite to foster peace and stability,” he emphasized, calling on all Nigerians to embrace peace and reject retaliation, regardless of ethnic, religious, or political affiliations.
