PDP Urges President Tinubu to Visit Plateau Attacks Victims

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has called on President Bola Tinubu to visit the scene of the Christmas Eve killing of Nigerians by gunmen in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi communities of Plateau State.

The Chairman of Community Peace Observers in the Bokkos Local Government Area, Plateau State, Kefas Mallai, disclosed that over 150 were killed by the gunmen.

PRESIDENT Tinubu, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, on Tuesday, condemned the attacks and ordered a manhunt for the killers.

While condoling with the government and the people of Plateau State, Tinubu assured Nigerians that “these envoys of death, pain, and sorrow will not escape justice.”

Also, Vice President Kashim Shettima, who was accompanied by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, visited the scene on Wednesday and assured residents that President Tinubu’s administration would not rest on its oars until victims of the attacks in Bokkos Local Government Area of the state get justice.

Reacting, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in a statement on Friday queried what was responsible for the failure of intelligence before and during the coordinated killing.

The opposition party charged Tinubu to allay fears and concerns on the above by immediately visiting the affected communities and personally addressing the nation on concrete steps to track down the perpetrators and their sponsors.
