Lawmaker asks govt to tighten security around Plateau traditional rulers

Sen. Istifanus Gyang (PDP/Plateau North), has called for tight security around traditional rulers in Plateau, following the release of Gwom Rwey of Vwang, Da Gyang Balak by kidnappers.

Gyang made the appeal on Tuesday, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Protocol, Mr Ibrahim Ashoms.

Balak, a traditional ruler in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau, was abducted on Sunday close to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Kuru, Jos.

The senator who condemned the dastardly act said that security should be beefed up around traditional rulers as they had become targets of kidnappers.

“Security agencies should tighten security around traditional rulers in the state in view of their increasing vulnerability”.

The senator appreciated the numerous prayers and solidarity of well-meaning citizens for the safe return of the royal father.

Gyang joined the Gbong Gwom Jos, Da Gyang Buba, and the Vwang community, in thanking God for the safe return of Balak. (NAN)
