Gov Lalong directs security to go after killers attacking villages


Following another attack on Wereng village, Kuru Station in Riyom LGA of Plateau State which occurred on Monday night where about 6 people were killed, Governor Simon Lalong has directed security agencies to do all that is necessary to apprehend the killers and also halt pockets of isolated attacks on innocent people.

 
Governor Lalong in a statement expressed fury over the killings, describing such recent attacks as worrisome and unacceptable which must be stoped immediately. 


While sympathizing with families of the victims and survivors, Lalong asked security agencies to redouble their efforts in apprehending the attackers, having achieved some successes in other recent cases.


He said “We will not allow these ugly incidences to return where helpless and innocent people are murdered in cold blood for no reason. These killers must be fished out at whatever cost and brought to justice. I urge the people to cooperate with the security agencies by providing useful information that will facilitate the arrest of the attackers”.


He called on citizens of the State to increase vigilance particularly in intelligence gathering and information sharing through the traditional rulers and other early warning systems of Operation Rainbow.
