They tasked security agencies to go after the killers of the innocent and defenseless people and bring them to justice, so as to serve as a deterrent to others.
“We appeal to Governor Caleb Mutfwang to summon the courage to implement previous reports of Inquiry which indicted some individuals in the crisis on the Plateau, this will discourage others who collaborate with these undesirable elements to perpetrate this heinous crime and other criminalities.
“We also commiserate with the government and the people of Plateau State over the great loss and urged the three tiers of governments to provide relief materials to the survivors in order to give them succor.
“We however, commend President Bola Tinubu for dispatching the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, the National Security Advisor, Nuhu Ribadu and Service Chiefs, to visit the affected communities.
“We implore the President not to rest on his oars until the killers are brought to justice”, the statement reads.
They lauded the National Assembly caucus of the APC, including the immediate past governor of the State, Sen. Simon Lalong, for their contributions to proffer solutions to the attacks.
