cautions against cycle of violence
Kwara State Governor/Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has described as shocking and sad the violent attacks that the police said killed over 96 people across 15 villages in Barkin Ladi local government area of Plateau State.
The Governor sends his heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of the state, especially the bereaved families.
Condemning the gruesome murder that occurred on the eve of Christmas celebration, Governor AbdulRazaq insists that nothing justifies the violence visited on innocent people, urging the security agencies to get to the roots of the incident and bring perpetrators to book.
He prays God to give comfort to all the affected families, and appeals to everyone on the Plateau to do everything to avoid a cycle of violence, which only inflicts generational pains and underdevelopment.
