“This is one attack too many on the Plateau. Since this democratic dispensation, Plateau has consistently suffered so much in the hands of terrorists and bandits. This kind of barbarism cannot happen even in the animal kingdom.
“It is very unfortunate that in Nigeria, this kind of wickedness appeared to have become an acceptable norm as people get killed and little or no effort is made by the authorities to bring the culprits to justice. President Tinubu must ensure that the security agencies abide by his directive.
“No society makes progress when criminals go about with sophisticated weapons, killing, maiming and destroying property without being apprehended and punished.
“President Bola Tinubu must not allow Plateau or any part of Nigeria to become ungovernable because of the activities of this gang of criminals who are bent on making life unpleasant to innocent Nigerians.
“Life is already tough and hard on Nigerians as such, this act of maiming of innocent lives has to stop.”
