Plateau Killings: Lalong Calls For Peace, Dialogue

The Governor of Plateau State, Mr Simon Lalong, has called for peace and dialogue following the recent attack on some communities in the state.

He assured residents of the state that the government remains committed to their security, adding that it is doing everything possible to ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.

“An attack on one, is an attack on all… Once again my heart and prayers are with families of victims of this attack as it affects every one of us,” he said in a tweet.

“The call for peace and dialogue at this time in our dear state can never be overemphasized. Whilst I understand that tensions will be high at this grieving moment, I call on us to maintain calm and cooperate with security operatives to handle this unfortunate situation.

“Going to bed or waking up any day with the news that our people are attacked is something that leaves us with questions about our love and value for humanity… While we pray for the families affected by this sad act.

“I continue to assure you of my commitment as one of you, to remain unrelenting in working with the security agencies to investigate and fish out perpetrators of this inhumane act and ensure they are apprehended, and that justice for the victims is served.”
