President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the alleged killings and violence in Plateau State.
A statement by the President’s spokesman, Dele Alake, says President Tinubu strongly condemned the recent internecine killings in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau and parts of Benue State, stressing that the country must break the cycle of violence.
The President urged socio-religious leaders in the troubled areas as well as the leadership of Arewa Consultative Forum, Jama’atu Nasril Islam, and Christian Association of Nigeria to work together to help foster genuine and long-lasting peace.
While reaffirming his government’s strong determination to stamp out violent crimes and all forms of criminalities everywhere in Nigeria, Tinubu ordered the security agencies to fish out the masterminds of the dastardly acts to face the full wrath of law.
He also charged the governments of Plateau and Benue states and emergency response agencies to provide support and immediate relief to victims who have been displaced as a result of the conflicts.
