President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday directed security agencies to scout for and apprehend culprits of the Christmas Day attacks in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State, which left at least 100 persons dead.

Condemning what he called a “primitive and heinous” attack, Tinubu said, “These envoys of death, pain, and sorrow will not escape justice.”

The PUNCH reports that over 100 persons were killed as armed men attacked 12 communities in Bokkos local government area, while over 17 others died in coordinated attacks on three communities in Barkin Ladi LGA, home to the Plateau State Polytechnic.

According to survivors’ accounts, Monday’s attacks were carried out by persons believed to be herders who displaced thousands of settlers and destroyed property worth millions of naira.

A statement signed Tuesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, read:

"President Bola Tinubu strongly condemns the heinous and brutal attacks in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State, which resulted in the tragic loss of many lives.

“President Tinubu directs security agencies to immediately move in, scour every stretch of the zone, and apprehend the culprits.

"The President also directs immediate mobilisation of relief resources for surviving victims of the primitive and cruel attacks as well as a medical treatment for the wounded.”

While condoling with the government and the people of Plateau State, Tinubu assured Nigerians that “these envoys of death, pain, and sorrow will not escape justice.”

When was that... Or Ragtag has a new meaning

Deterrence is better than all these rhetorical statements after deaths

The Government) Military must reply very hard

The unprovoke attack on Nigerians is so disheartening

If not ESN, this is the kind of massive killings that would have been coming out from the South East.
I can't just imagine such.

My condolences to plateau people. It's time to fight back!!

STO.. STO... STO...

Do you know that Obi could not live in Anambra after his tenure due to the spate of insecurity in his state, immediately after his tenure, he also connected his daughter to a private school in Lagos while his son was sent abroad. He has never believed in Anambra.
Plateau state is bigger than the whole of 5 SE states, the larger size of the north makes security a bit more complex in addition to lesser army personnels. Good thing is, the Army has been more proactive recently taking the battle to the terrorists' hideouts and have been eliminating a good number of the bandits leaders.

Na the main result of Muslim Muslim ticket
