The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has urged security
agencies to ensure that those responsible for the killings in Plateau
State are quickly apprehended.
Saraki said apprehending the perpetrators would help bring an end to
the killings in the State.
Speaking in Jos, the state capital, on Wednesday, the Senate President
said, "We must also ensure that all those who are responsible for
these killings must account for it. It is part of providing succour
and ensuring the peace. You cannot bring back the lives, but finding
and prosecuting the perpetrators will go a long way in helping to calm
people and ease the pain that they are going through.
"Therefore, yet again, we call on our security agents to ensure that
they find the perpetrators that have done this and make them account
for their detestable actions.
"Let me use this opportunity to appeal to everyone, to the entire
people of Plateau State: Nobody wins from this. Nobody. These killings
from today set the clock back many years, therefore, I want to appeal
to the entire people of Plateau State, the elderly, the young, the men
and the women, to ensure that we work towards peace."
