Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, has ordered security agencies to pluck out perpetrators of Christmas Day attacks in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State.
No fewer than 160 people have been confirmed dead and many others injured in coordinated attacks across 15 communities in both Local Government Areas.
Also, properties worth millions of naira were vandalized in the attacks.
In a statement released by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the president condemned the dangerous attacks on harmless citizens and pledged that the “envoys of death, pain, and sorrow” would not escape justice.
The statement read: “President Bola Tinubu strongly condemns the heinous and brutal attacks in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State, which resulted in the tragic loss of many lives.
“President Tinubu directs security agencies to immediately move in, scour every stretch of the zone, and apprehend the culprits.
“The President also directs immediate mobilisation of relief resources for surviving victims of the primitive and cruel attacks as well as a medical treatment for the wounded.”
