The Honourable Member called on all security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army and other relevant stakeholders, to immediately and thoroughly investigate the matter, fish out the perpetrators and ensure they are brought to justice without delay.“
We cannot allow this cycle of violence and bloodshed to continue in our dear state.
The security agencies must act swiftly and decisively to apprehend those responsible for this dastardly act and bring them to face the full wrath of the law,” he stated.

“I urge our youths and residents of Jos North to exercise maximum restraint and allow the security agencies to carry out their constitutional duties.
Taking the law into our own hands will only worsen the problem and bring more hardship to our communities,” he emphasised.
He joined well-meaning citizens in praying for the restoration of lasting peace in Jos North and Plateau State at large, saying: “May the Almighty God comfort the bereaved families, heal the injured, and grant us the peace that surpasses all understanding. Enough is enough.
