Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the recent killings in Plateau state.
It could be recalled that the gunmen on Saturday, attacked Sabon Gari community located in Mangu LGA of the state, killing nine persons and also razed six houses.
One of the leaders in the community, Jerry Datim, had said there were people that have not been seen since the attack.
However, Tinubu, in a statement on Tuesday, by Dele Alake, his special adviser on special duties, communications and strategy, said that the attacks were needless.
He said, “It is most unfortunate that in this orgy of violence, an innocent eight-month-old baby in Farin Lamba community of Vwang District, Jos south LG, died in a conflict she knew nothing about,” he said.
“A major consequence of perennial conflict is always the tragic loss of innocent lives.
“To build virile, peaceful and prosperous communities demand tolerance and forgiveness for every perceived wrongdoing.”
Tinubu asked community leaders, religious leaders, traditional rulers, and socio-cultural organisations to work together in a bid to create long-lasting peace, while charging the governments of Plateau and Benue states and emergency response agencies to provide support and immediate relief to victims who have been displaced as a result of the conflicts.
