President Muhammadu Buhari says he is shocked and grieved by the killings which took place in Plateau State on Thursday, January 9th, 2020.
This was according to a statement issued by the president’s special aide, Mr. Garba Shehu today.
Mr. Shehu said the president strongly condemned the killings, asking security agencies to stop further attacks in Mangu Local Government in Plateau State.
According to the statement, President Buhari is in contact with Governor Simon Lalong, military, police and other security agencies in the state to know the extent of damage and prevent a future happening.
President Buhari urged security agencies in the state to increase vigilance to stop further attacks on those communities.
Sadly, Mangu LGA has been struggling with security challenges since the last quarter of 2019, with records of death in different communities.
