Plateau killing: Security agents must bring perpetrators to book – NGF chair

The chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has urged security agencies to get to the roots of the Christmas eve killing in Plateau state and bring perpetrators to book. 

He described as shocking and sad the violent attacks that killed over 96 people across 15 villages in Barkin Ladi local government area of Plateau state. 

Abdulrazaq, who doubles as Kwara state governor sends his heartfelt condolences to the government and people of the state, especially the bereaved families, statement by his media aide Rafiu Ajakaye has said.

Condemning the gruesome murder that occurred on the eve of Christmas celebration, Governor AbdulRazaq insisted that nothing justified the violence visited on innocent people.

He prays God to give comfort to all the affected families, and appeals to everyone on the Plateau to do everything to avoid a cycle of violence, which only inflicts generational pains and underdevelopment.
