•Condemns ‘Barbaric’ Attack
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Nigeria Police Force to collaborate with other security and intelligence agencies to track down and prosecute those responsible for the brutal killing of 12 travellers in Plateau State.
The victims, including the father and brother of a groom, were reportedly returning from a wedding in Zaria, Kaduna State, when they were ambushed and murdered en route to Jos, Plateau State.
Several others sustained injuries in the attack, which has sparked widespread outrage across the country.
In a strongly worded statement issued Saturday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu condemned the killings as “unacceptable and barbaric,” reaffirming his administration’s zero-tolerance policy for violence and lawlessness.
“The Government of Plateau State must take decisive action in handling these vicious cycles of violence.
“The state government must work with security agents to get to the root of this recent incident and use it as a deterrent against future occurrences,” the statement read.
He further asserted that the constitutional right to freedom of movement must not be infringed upon by any individual or group.
“Freedom of movement by all citizens is non-negotiable. We will not tolerate any attempt by anyone or group of people to curtail that fundamental freedom through acts of extreme violence and fear,” he declared.
Calling for calm among affected communities, Tinubu assured Nigerians that the perpetrators would face justice.
He also extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and the people and government of Kaduna State.
