PMB Tasks Security Agencies On Plateau Killings’ Perpetrators. Sponsors 

…Says state must not allow return of disorder

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – President Muhammadu Buhari has directed law enforcement agencies to apprehend perpetrators of Friday’s early hours killings in Plateau and whoever their sponsors may be.

This is just as he expressed sadness over the senseless killing of persons that were mainly women and children in a night attack on Ancha village in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The President, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, expressed disappointment at the disruption of peace and normalcy that have reasonably taken root in the state, and urged stakeholders not to allow this violent incident to destroy the progress made so far

He further said; “It is unlawful of anyone or group to take the laws into their hands in the name of revenge or reprisals, rather than follow due process by allowing law enforcement agencies to fish out any such aggressors who will be made to face justice.

“The various communities in the state have taken many steps, with the support of security agencies and mediators to pull the state back from the brink of anarchy and senseless killings warranted by attacks and counter-attacks.

“It will be a painful loss to allow these unsavoury acts to return. I urge all our communities in the state and the other parts of the country to embrace peace and bring to a stop these painful and unnecessary killings.”

PMB reiterated his administration’s resolve to protect lives and property of all citizens, wherever they reside and prayed God to grant peace to the souls of the victims and comfort to the grieving families and community.
