PRESIDENT TINUBU CONDEMNS KILLINGS AND VIOLENCE IN PLATEAU STATE.

President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the killings and violence in Plateau State.

Tinubu in a statement through his spokesman Dele Alake strongly condemned the recent internal killings in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau and parts of Benue State, stressing that the country must break the cycle of violence.

He said it was most unfortunate that an innocent eight-month-old baby in the Farin Lamba community of Vwang District, Jos South Local Government, died in a conflict she knew nothing about, arguing that a major consequence of perennial conflict is always the tragic loss of innocent lives.

The President urged socio-religious leaders in the troubled areas as well as the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Jama’atu Nasril Islam, and the Christian Association of Nigeria to work together to help foster genuine and long-lasting peace.
