Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised that the gunmen who killed many people in communities in Plateau State will be apprehended and face severe punishment under the law.
The President who extended his condolences to the families of victims in Ruwi, Hurti, and Tadai communities in Bokkos Local Government and those from Manguna and Dafo villages, where gunmen launched attacks, resulting in the loss of lives and the destruction of properties.
Tinubu commiserated with the Government of Plateau State and Governor Caleb Mutfwang, urging the affected communities to cooperate with the authorities and security agencies by volunteering information to catch the perpetrators and secure their communities.
According to the statement released by his aide, the President assured Governor Mutfwang of his support in ending this spate of wanton bloodletting on the Plateau.
He directed the National Emergency Management Agency to work with state authorities to provide necessary support to the victims and bring immediate relief to the affected communities and those wounded during the attacks. 
NEMA will work closely with the state to ensure that affected communities rebuild and recover. The report of another violent attack in communities in Plateau State by mindless gunmen saddens me.
“The latest attacks on defenceless citizens are unacceptable. I have directed security agencies to hunt down the attackers, and they will face severe punishment when apprehended.
“These intermittent attacks should have no place in our country at a time when we are working so hard to restore peace and order in all parts of our country. “This unfortunate incident will never dampen and slow us down in our duty to protect every Nigerian citizen. Instead, we will work harder to exterminate forces of evil wherever they are lurking in our country.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families and all those affected by this senseless violence. No community should have to endure such tragedy.
“We all must unite to foster peace and stability. I urge all citizens—regardless of ethnic, religious, or political affiliations—to uphold the shared humanity that binds us all, embrace peace and reject retaliation”, the President said.
