“I am saddened by the report of another violent attack in communities in Plateau State by mindless gunmen,” President Tinubu stated. “These latest attacks on defenseless citizens are unacceptable. I have instructed security agencies to hunt down the Plateau attackers, and they will face severe punishment when apprehended. Such violence has no place in our country, especially as we work to restore peace and order everywhere.”
He emphasized that while this tragic event is disheartening, it will not deter the government’s commitment to protect every Nigerian. “We will intensify our efforts to end the forces of evil that threaten our communities,” he added.
The President also extended his thoughts and prayers to the victims’ families, urging all citizens to unite for peace regardless of their ethnic, religious, or political backgrounds. He called on everyone to embrace their shared humanity and reject any form of retaliation.
