In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu called for immediate action, directing security agencies to thoroughly investigate the incidents. The President also urged the prompt mobilization of relief resources for survivors and medical treatment for the wounded.
Expressing condolences to the government and people of Plateau State, Tinubu assured Nigerians that those behind the attacks, labeled as “envoys of death, pain, and sorrow,” would not escape justice.
