The Northern Senators Forum (NSF) has strongly condemned the recent attacks on five communities in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.

LEADERSHIP recalls that the attack left at least 50 people dead, while many others were injured and some missing.

In a statement issued to journalists on Monday in Abuja, the chairman of the Forum, Senator Abdulaziz Musa Yar’adua, described the incident as a tragic reminder of the lingering insecurity afflicting parts of the country and called for decisive national action to prevent further bloodshed.

“The death toll, which has risen to about 50, with many more injured and missing does not represent the values we stand for as a nation. This tragic incident is a stark reminder of the insecurity that has plagued some parts of our country, and we cannot afford to let it become the new norm,” the statement read.

The forum extended condolences to the families of the victims, the people of Plateau State, and the state government.

“We wish to commiserate with the families of the victims, the Plateau State Government, and the people of Plateau State over this tragic incident,” it stated.

The senators also commended Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State for his proactive efforts to restore peace and prevent retaliatory violence between ethnic groups.

“His leadership is a beacon of hope in these trying times, and we urge him to continue on this path,” the Forum continued.

Reaffirming its dedication to enhancing national security, the forum expressed its readiness to collaborate with both federal authorities and security agencies to develop a sustainable framework to protect lives and property across the North and beyond.

The forum also renewed its commitment to working with the government and security agencies to develop a robust security framework that protects the lives and property of our citizens. “We cannot afford to fail in this endeavor,” the forum added.

Calling on all Nigerians to unite against the forces threatening national peace, the forum said the attack should serve as a wake-up call.

“We must come together to build a safer, more secure future for ourselves and future generations. We owe it to the victims of these senseless attacks to act decisively and ensure that such incidents do not recur,” the senators said.

The forum concluded with thoughts and prayers for the grieving families, urging them to find strength during this period of mourning.

“May the bereaved families find comfort during this mourning period,” it said.
