Senator condemns Plateau killings, urges N’Assembly to take action.

Senator Pam Dachungyang, representing Plateau North, has strongly condemned the recent attacks by gunmen in Jol, Rim, and Jebu villages, which have claimed over 30 lives. 

The lawmaker, in a statement on Tuesday by his media aide, Eric Dung, described the situation in Jebu village as akin to a war situation, with innocent villagers being targeted, and expressed concern about the impact on local farmers and their livelihoods.

Dachungyang urged the National Assembly to take practical steps to address the issue and reinvigorate the Special Military Taskforce structure to guarantee security. He also called for collective action to bring the perpetrators to justice and condoled with those who lost loved ones in the attacks.

The senator's concerns echo those of other groups, including the Northern Elders Forum, which demanded immediate deployment of well-equipped security personnel to Plateau State and urged the government to ensure swift apprehension and prosecution of those responsible.

President Tinubu has also condemned the violence, describing it as a tragic loss of innocent lives and a setback to peace in the region, and ordered an investigation into the incident.
