The All Progressives
Congress (APC) has commiserated with the government and people of Plateau State
over Saturday’s gruesome killings in Barkin-Ladi and Riyom local government
areas of the state.
In a statement signed by
Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, it declared
that nothing can justify such descent to barbarism, bestiality and cruelty to a
fellow man as witnessed with the gruesome killings.
“While we grieve over the
dead and commiserate with families and friends who have lost loved ones, we
appeal to religious and community leaders to demonstrate true leadership even
in the face of this terrible challenge, by appealing to those affected not to
take the laws into their hands and avoid utterances and actions that can
provoke reprisal.
“We are confident that
President Muhammadu Buhari’s prompt visit to Plateau State will help in
providing some succour to the affected and reassuring everyone of Mr.
President’s commitments to tackling the security situation in the country.
“We also once again call on
security agencies to spare no efforts in ensuring the arrest and prosecution of
the perpetrators and in stemming the occurrence of such violence in all parts
of the country.”
