The Plateau State Deputy Governor, Mrs Josephine Piyo, has condemned the killings in some communities in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi LGA leading to the loss of lives and many others sustaining various degrees of injuries.
The Deputy Governor described the killings as reprehensible and disheartening especially as it occurred during the festive season when the Christian faithful were celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
This was contained in a statement signed by Martha Nyam the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor of Plateau State and made available to newsmen .
She commiserated with the families of the victims and urged them to seek the face of God for comfort while reaffirming the government’s commitment to end the cycle of killings in the state.
Piyo called on citizens to prioritize peace and harmonious living at all times for the good of the state, in spite of our cultural and religious differences.
She advised residents to be conscious of their environment and report to the security agencies any suspicious movements in their communities.
She, however, called on the security agencies to expedite action toward bringing the culprits to book and averting a similar situation in the future.
