The Plateau Initiative for Development and Advancement of the Natives, PIDAN, is saddened by the recent brutal killings of its citizens within and outside the State by organised terrorist groups.
At the time we are still in pains over the killings in Kulben and the gruesome murder of Ropvil Daciya Dalep, the State was thrown into more agonies on Sunday January 26, 2020, when some yet to be identified persons invaded Kwatas in Bokkos Local Government Area and unleashed terror on the peaceful community, leaving about 10 deaths and a scores with injuries.
We condemn the killing of innocent citizens of the State in such gruesome manner and pray that the almighty God will comfort the bereaved and grant the families the fortitude to bear the loss.
The serial events of killings on the Plateau in recent times call for serious concern and clarion call to both the State and the Federal Government to rise up to the occasion by strengthening the security architecture to protect the lives of innocent citizens.
We also wish to further call on the Plateau State Government to create the enabling environment that would enable communities to engage in effective community policing in all parts of the State.
We consider the gruesome murder of one of our sons Ropvil Daciya Dalep by the terrorist group -Boko Haram, as terrible, shocking and condemnable. We wish to commiserate with the immediate family and the Mupun Community, and pray God to comfort them.
We consider the present operations of the Boko Haram as strategic attempts to reignite religious violence in the country and government most not allow them to overwhelm it by this brutality on Nigeria and its people.
We therefore call on Federal Government to take urgent steps to secure lives and properties of Nigerians wherever they are and secure the release of all those who are still under the captivity of these insurgents as an immediate responsibility.
We appeal to the Christian and Moslem communities to collaborate in their various communities to flush out undesirable elements within their mist and bring them to justice.
We pray that God will grant the souls of departed eternal rest.
