Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has condemned attacks that resulted in the death of 13 persons in Plateau State.
The Nigerian leader assured that terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and associated crimes will be defeated.
Over 10 people were killed by unknown gunmen on Sunday around Kwatas village in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Buhari, in statement signed by his senior Spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Monday said, “In Plateau State, gunmen launched yet another bloody attack, killing innocent citizens. This shocking and sad incident should be condemned by all citizens.”
Buhari reiterated that “revenge, hatred, and violent attacks should have no place in a multi-ethnic, multicultural, and multi-religious society as we have in this country.’’
He called on community and religious leaders to counsel the youths on the need for peaceful co-existence.
Buhari sent condolences to families of the victims, government, and people of Plateau State, and urged security agencies on assignment in the state to rediscover their act and stop, forthwith, the return of the ugly days of tit-for-tat.
