President Bola Tinubu has ordered the arrest of perpetrators of the heinous and brutal attacks in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State, which resulted in the tragic loss of many lives.
President Tinubu directed security agencies to immediately move in, scour every stretch of the zone, and apprehend the culprits.
The president made the directive in a statement issued on Tuesday, December 26, by his special adviser of media and publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.
Tinubu also ordered immediate mobilization of relief resources for surviving victims of the primitive and cruel attacks as well as medical treatment for the wounded.
While condoling with the government and the people of Plateau State, President Tinubu assures Nigerians that these envoys of death, pain, and sorrow will not escape justice.
Punch Metro had earlier on Tuesday published that the Plateau State Police Command disclosed that 96 persons were killed while 221 houses were set ablaze during the Christmas Eve attacks by gunmen in Plateau State.
According to him, the attacks that were carried out by the assailants in 15 communities of Bokkos and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas of the state also left eight vehicles burnt in the process.
