Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, on Tuesday 26 December 2023, condemned the recent attacks in Bokkos communities and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State on the eve of Christmas.
It was gathered that about 115 persons were killed in the hands of gunmen who took about three days launching offensive in Plateau State.
While reacting to the attacks, Abbas in a statement endorsed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Krishi, described the attacks as evil and barbaric.
The speaker expressed concern with the trend of attacks by gunmen, bandits and other criminals, who kill innocent Nigerians.
He called on the security and intelligence agencies to prevent further loss of lives and property on the Plateau and other parts of the country even as he charged them to go after the perpetrators of the dastardly act, apprehend and bring them to justice.
“Nigeria has recorded too many losses of lives and property under attacks, and this trend must stop forthwith”. He added.
Abbas while sympathizing with the people and the Government of Plateau State, prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed and comfort for their families of those affected by the sad incident.
