The Federal Government has expressed condolences to the families of the victims of the recent Plateau attacks and has directed that humanitarian aid be sent to the affected areas immediately.
Alhaji Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, made this announcement in an Abuja statement on Wednesday.
According to him:
“The Federal Government of Nigeria strongly condemns the recent killings in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State.
“We would like to reiterate the commitment of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration to securing every inch of Nigerian territory, and ensuring that all forms of criminality by terrorists, bandits and militants are tackled boldly and decisively.”
He said that the Federal Government acknowledged the intense suffering endured by each and every victim of the assaults and promised to intensify cooperation with state governments in the joint endeavour to secure long-term security and peace in Nigeria.
He added that to increase intelligence collecting and crisis response capabilities, all government security and intelligence organisations were working together.
“We pray for God’s comfort and healing for all the affected communities and families. May the souls of the dead rest in peace. Amen,” he said.
