President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the recent spate of killings in Plateau state.
There has been an increased attack on innocent villagers and citizens by unknown gunmen in the state. On Monday 29 were murdered at an IDPs camp in Bassa LGA of the state.
Reacting in a statement by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu on Monday, Buhari said he believes that “this madness has gone too far.”
Mr. Shehu said the president has instructed the military and the police to not only bring the violence to an instant end, but to draw up a plan to ensure that there are no further attacks and reprisal attacks by one group against the other.
“President Buhari is devoted to the sanctity of Nigeria’s unity, and he encourages Nigerians of all groups to learn to live together in peace and harmony,” Mr. Shehu said.
It also said the president commiserates with the governor and people of Plateau State, and with those who lost their loved ones, friends and family.
