AYCF Condemns Plateau Killing, Demands Compensation

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has unequivocally condemned the recent brutal killings of innocent residents of Bokkos local government area in Plateau State, an act it described as senseless violence that has left numerous lives lost and entire communities devastated.

AYCF, in a statement issued by its President, General Yerima Shettima, said that such a tragic incident is a profound violation of human rights and a stark reminder of the escalating insecurity in various parts of our nation.

“The perpetrators of these heinous acts must be brought to justice, and the government must take immediate and decisive action to prevent further bloodshed.

“We at AYCF express our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims and the affected communities who have suffered irreparable losses. The pain and trauma caused by such violence cannot be understated, and it is a reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive security reforms.

“Furthermore, in the wake of this tragedy, we call for adequate compensation to be provided to the victims’ families. The loss of life, property, and livelihood cannot be compensated fully, but financial support is essential for the survivors to rebuild their lives”.

Shettima also demanded that the government establish a fund dedicated to supporting the victims, including medical aid, psychological support, and financial compensation for the families who have lost loved ones.

He said, “It is not just a call for justice; it is a call for compassion, accountability, and a collective commitment to ensuring that such atrocities do not continue to plague our nation.”

“We stand in solidarity with the people of Plateau State and all victims of violence, and we demand action that prioritises the safety and dignity of every Nigerian citizen”.

AYCF commiserated with the Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang and the entire people of the state over what it described as yet another senseless bloodshed.
