Plateau State Governor, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has again condemned in strong terms the renewed deadly attacks that have claimed several lives and property in Kopnanle commuinity in Mangu, and Mandar Shar village of Bokkos Local government areas of the state.
The attacks which occurred on Friday night left some members of the affected commuinities injured.
Mutfwang described the attacks as unfortunate and unacceptable, especially now that the government is diligently working to restore peace and security, and to facilitate the return of displaced persons to their homes.
A statement issued in Jos by the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, quoted the governor warning perpetrators of these dastardly acts to desist forthwith as the government is determined to fish them out to face justice.
While appreciating the intervention of the security agencies in the protection of lives and property in the state, Governor Mutfwang encouraged them to instensify their efforts in carrying out their constitutional duty of safeguarding innocent populations, even as he acknowledged their assistance in preserving lives and property in the state.
He also expressed deep sympathy to the bereaved families and the affected commuinities, praying for healing of those who sustained injuries.
He called for commuinity stakeholders across the state to activate dispute dissolution mechanisms in tackling disagreements and report without delay, early warning signs to constituted authorities for prompt intervention, urging for vigilance and fostering of inter-community relations by residents of the state, particularly now that the raining season is gearing up to ensure a safer and successful farming season in the state.
