Tinubu Condemns Plateau Attacks, Assures Justice For Victims

President Bola Tinubu has vehemently condemned the heinous and brutal attacks that occurred in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State, resulting in the tragic loss of numerous lives.

A statement released by Presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale in Abuja on Tuesday relayed Tinubu’s directive to security agencies to swiftly move into the affected zone, thoroughly comb the area, and apprehend the culprits responsible for these atrocities.

The President also ordered the immediate mobilisation of relief resources for surviving victims of these primitive and cruel attacks, as well as urgent medical treatment for the wounded.

While expressing condolences to the government and people of Plateau, President Tinubu assured Nigerians that those responsible for these agents of death, pain, and sorrow would face the full weight of justice.

Additionally, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has also condemned the killings in Plateau State.

In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Daniel Okoh, CAN President, asserted that “such acts have no place in our society.”

He said that the attack was not only criminal but also an assault on shared values of peace, unity, and mutual respect.

“We strongly condemn these acts of violence. The burning down of houses and worship centres, along with the destruction of properties worth millions of Naira, is not just a criminal act but also a direct assault on our shared values of peace, unity, and mutual respect,” Okoh stated. (NAN)
