Plateau State Governor-elect, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, in a press statement, signed his Special Assistant on Media, Gyang Bere, condemned the attack and noted with pain the bloody incident which was orchestrated by bandits on innocent citizens.
He appealed to security agencies to fish out the perpetrators to face the full wrath of the law.
