OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR,
PLATEAU STATE
PRESS STATEMENT
The Executive
Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong is saddened by the recent
gory event that culminated in the killing of a one-time Head of Service, Da
Moses Gwom, Corporal Chimezie Goodluck and one Rhoda Dauda by evil men, who do
not mean well for humanity and the State.
This event is
unfortunate and highly condemnable. The Governor has therefore directed the
Security Agencies in the State to swing into action to fish out the perpetrators
of this heinous and dastardly act. He has also assured the people of the State
that their safety remains a priority to Government inspite of pockets of cases
that seem to suggest the existence of reprisal attacks.
The Governor warned
that Government is concerned with the reoccurrence of isolated cases of
unprovoked attacks and is resolved on fishing out the perpetrators of these
acts of inhumanity, which he assured that the long arm of the law will soon
catch up with. The Executive Governor is further calling on all residents of neighborhoods
that experienced violence during the dark decade of violent conflicts in the
State not to rest on their oars in ensuring vigilance through neighborhood
security watch and intensified efforts in building community cohesion.
The Executive
Governor extends his heartfelt condolences to the families of all the deceased
and prayed for the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss
