He urged the authorities to ensure that culprits of the unrest were brought to book.
“I worried over the persistent killings between Jukun and Tiv in Taraba State; I have met with the governors of the two states on the need for the citizens to embrace peace.
“I charged you (PPPN) officials to put politics aside and work for peace. If violence erupts, it will not select who to be kill.”
Pam called on the Plateau State government to support the entire peace practitioners to enable them to perform better.
Plateau Peace Practitioners Network constitutes 39 different civil society organisations both local and foreign.
