Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Plateau State Chapter, Hon. Rufus Bature has condemned in very strong terms the Christmas eve attacks on different communities in Mangu, Bokkos and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas.
According to the APC Chairman, these unprovoked and dastardly acts which left scores of lives lost, unquantified property destroyed and members of the affected communities displaced from their ancestral home, is most regrettable as it came at a time when normalcy seemed to have been restored.
This was contained in a statement signed by
Hon. Sylvanus Namang, APC State Publicity Secretary and made available to newsmen in Jos .
He described the attacks as heinous crime on the people of the state and a sacrilege coming in the wake of the Christmas celebration which is a season for demonstration of love, peace and unity.
Hon Rufus Bature while sympathising with the bereaved families of the affected communities and the government of Plateau State, called on the need to seriously dig into the root causes of these ceaseless crises which have led to the disorganisation and dislodgement of so many unsuspecting communities across the state.
While appreciating the deployment of more security forces to the areas, Hon Rufus Bature called for more proactive measures and greater vigilance by the people at all times.
He said these bloodletting have led to disenchantment by the people with the security architecture and the government whose major preoccupation is the protection of the people and thier livelihood.
Hon. Rufus Bature called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu never to be tired of the Plateau incessant killings and to once again direct the deployment of more security forces to tame the tide and provision of succour through relief materials to the survivors of the attacks most of who did not engage in farming last season due to several attacks on the affected communities.
