President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to “immediately move in, scour every stretch of the zone, and apprehend the culprits” of Sunday night’s attack in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Plateau State, which has resulted in the death of over 115 people.
Several houses were set ablaze by the attackers, while the gun-wielding and blood-curling men also looted farm produce and destroyed property as they butchered the residents.
According to a statement on Tuesday by the presidential spokesman, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the President “strongly condemns the heinous and brutal attacks”.
The statement further read: “The President also directs immediate mobilisation of relief resources for surviving victims of the primitive and cruel attacks as well as medical treatment for the wounded.
“While condoling with the government and the people of Plateau State, President Tinubu assures Nigerians that these envoys of death, pain, and sorrow will not escape justice”.
He tasked security agents to unravel the sponsors of the “carnage” and their blood-thirsty foot-soldiers.
