December 26, (THEWILL) – President Bola Tinubu has 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.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President, directed security agencies to move into the affected zone swiftly, and thoroughly comb the area and apprehend the culprits responsible for these atrocities.
He 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.
Meanwhile, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has also condemned the killings in Plateau State.
In a statement on Tuesday, CAN President, Daniel Okoh, said 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.
