Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has condemned the renewed attacks in Kopnanle community in Mangu and Mandar Shar village of Bokkos Local Government Areas of the state.
Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen had attacked the villages on Friday night, killing no fewer than 10 people
Mutfwang, in a statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Affairs Gyang Bere, described the attacks as unfortunate and unacceptable, especially now that the government is diligently working to restore peace and security; and facilitate the return of displaced persons to their homes.
Mutfwang warned perpetrators of these dastardly acts to desist forthwith as government is determined to fish them out to face justice.
The governor appreciated the intervention of Security Agencies in the protection of lives and property in the state and urged them to redouble their efforts in discharging their constitutional responsibility of protecting innocent communities.
He expressed deep sympathy to the bereaved families and the affected communities and prayed for quick healing of those who sustained gunshot injuries.
The Governor called on community stakeholders across the state to activate dispute resolution mechanisms in tackling issues of disagreement and report without delay, early warning signs to Constituted authorities for prompt intervention.
Mutfwang urged for vigilance and fostering of inter-community relations by residents of the state, particularly now that the rainy season is gearing up to ensure a safer and successful farming period.
