Angered by Thursday’s killing of five people at Nzharuvo community, in Miango District of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, the Senator representing Plateau North Senatorial District, Istifanus Gyang, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, and the security chiefs to end the recurrent killings in Irigwe chiefdom and the zone at large.
He further lamented that the inability to enforce law and order emboldens criminals and incentivizes impunity as has been the case with the killings in Irigwe land.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Media and Protocol, Musa Ibrahim Ashoms, Gyang reiterated that government must not allow those he described as “merchants of unrest and bloodshed” to continue disrupting the peace the citizens of the zone have resolved to build and consolidate on.
“I am saddened that Plateau North again woke up the morning of Friday May 29, 2020, with yet another gory report of a night attack at a Noodles Eatery next to Kent Academy, Miango in Bassa local government leaving behind four people dead.
“I am worried that communities of Irigwe Chiefdom in Bassa Local Government have been the target of repeated attacks for many years, resulting in monumental loss of lives and property with several villages reduced to rubbles,” he said.
