Northern govs condemn Plateau attacks

Published on April 05, 2025 at 07:40 PM

The Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Yahaya, has condemned the recent attacks on Ruwi, Manguna, Daffo, Josho and Hurti communities in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.

DAILYPOST recalls that the attacks reportedly claimed several lives and left scores injured, mostly women and children.

However, in a statement by the Director-General of Press Affairs, Ismaila Misilli, the governor expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incidents, commiserating with the families of those affected and the government and people of Plateau State.

He described the killings as senseless and a threat to the unity and stability of the region, even as he lamented the spate of violence ravaging rural communities in the North, particularly the persistent shedding of innocent blood, calling it a stain on the conscience of the region and the nation.

“The sanctity of human life must never be taken for granted. These heinous attacks on innocent people are totally unacceptable and must be condemned by all,”; Yahaya said.

The NSGF chairman commended the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, for his swift response and proactive measures in dealing with the aftermath of the attacks, as well as the security agencies for their rapid intervention to restore calm.

He, however, urged security operatives to intensify efforts in tracking down the perpetrators and bringing them to justice.

Yahaya also stressed the need for tolerance, peacebuilding, and mutual understanding among diverse communities, particularly between farmers and herders.

He reiterated the commitment of the Northern Governors to working collectively in addressing insecurity, promoting social cohesion, and fostering harmonious coexistence across the region.

“As Northern Governors, we will continue to take deliberate steps to end this cycle of violence by strengthening security collaboration, promoting dialogue, and implementing policies that encourage peace and unity,”; he added.
