Every concerted effort and action must be taken by the relevant authorities and stakeholders to stop the scene of dreadful carnage on the streets of Plateau State, the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu has said.
Kalu who is devastated by the unfortunate reports of the massacre said to have begun on the Christmas Eve, spanning across over 15 communities in three local government areas of
Bokkos, Barkin-Ladi and Mangu LGAs charged all security agencies to go after the assailants.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Levinus Nwabughiogu, the deputy speaker described the attacks as reprehensible and unprovoked, insisting that the perpetrators must be fished out and brought to justice.
He recalled the previous years of similar ugly happenstances in the state, saying that never again should such repeat itself.
Kalu said that what the nation needs at all times is peace, adding that it is for this reason that he is championing the Peace in South East Project (PISE-P) to restore peace in all warring regions, starting from the South East region.
While commiserating with the government and the people of Plateau State especially the family of the victims, Kalu said that all legislative interventions will be activated to dissuade future occurrence even as he appreciated the security agencies for their efforts to stop the attacks from escalating any further.
