…Urges security to go after the perpetrators
From Tongnaan Bawa, Jos
The Transition Implementation Committee Chairman of Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau state Markus Artu, has condemned in totality the killing of the Ardo of Panyam Adamu Idris Gabdo.
The Mangu TIC Chairman in the statement he personally signed and made available to Journalists in Jos on Sunday, described the Killing as barbaric and an act of Criminality by enemies of Plateau who are against the Peace being enjoyed in the State.
Artu while condemning the act assured the People of Mangu, that the security operatives are on the trail of the Perpetrators of the evil act and will soon be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
The Mangu Council Chairman who on behalf of the entire Mangu Council authority distanced itself from the incident said the People of Mangu had since resolved to live in peace with each other, irrespective of tribe or religion and would not allow anyone to come between them.
He described the incident as a deliberate act by hoodlums who are bent on throwing the council area into another round of Chaos at a time when relative peace has been achieved and the people are returning back to their ancestral homes due to many efforts made by the State Government under the leadership of State Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
While appealing for calm amongs residents of the council area, Artu calls on citizens to go about their lawful activity and cautions them against taking the laws into their hands as the Government is doing everything possible to sustain the Peace already being enjoyed in the state.
Ardo, Adamu Idris Gabdo, was reported to have been killed by yet to be identified criminals in the wee hours of Saturday 23, September 2023.
