According to a statement issued by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, in Abuja, all hands are on deck across the security and intelligence agencies to scale up intelligence-gathering and crisis-response efforts at the Federal level.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria strongly condemns the recent killings in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State.
“We would like to reiterate the commitment of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration to securing every inch of Nigerian territory and ensuring that all forms of criminality by terrorists, bandits and militants are tackled boldly and decisively.
“President Tinubu has directed the security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of these heinous killings are fished out and brought to justice.
“The President has also directed the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and other relevant agencies to work with the Plateau State Government to deliver immediate humanitarian relief to the affected communities,” Idris said.
