A former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto South, Aminu Tambuwal, has condemned in strong terms the recent spate of violent attacks in Plateau State that have resulted in the loss of many lives and the displacement of entire communities.
In a statement released via his official X handle on Wednesday, Tambuwal described the attacks as “cruel, unjustified, and intolerable,” emphasising that no society should condone such acts of brutality.
“I strongly condemn the recent wave of horrific killings and destruction across communities in Plateau State.
“These senseless attacks are cruel, unjustified, and must never be tolerated,” Tambuwal lamented.
Expressing deep sorrow over the tragedy, he extended condolences to the families of the victims and all those affected, assuring the people of Plateau of his solidarity during what he termed a “painful and trying time.”
Tambuwal also called on the Federal Government to urgently rise to its constitutional responsibility of safeguarding lives and property. He stressed the need for immediate action from security agencies to halt the cycle of violence and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.
“The Federal Government must live up to its primary responsibility. I urge the security agencies to act swiftly and decisively. The perpetrators must be brought to justice. We cannot allow Nigeria to continue on this dangerous path of violence and impunity,” he warned.
His comments come amid growing national concern over the rising tide of insecurity in Plateau and other parts of the country, with citizens and leaders alike calling for decisive government intervention.
