Plateau State Governor, Dr. Simon Bako Lalong has condemned the Tuesday night attack on the Maikatako community in the Butura District of the Bokkos Local Government Area (LGA) which led to 11 deaths and injury to eight persons.
In a statement issued by the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Makut Machan, Lalong asked the security forces in the state to fish out the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
The governor, who sympathized with the families of the victims, reiterated that his administration would not allow terrorists and bandits to take a foothold in any part of the state as all security agencies had been directed to be firm on any person or group behind the attack.
According to him, the rising incidence of attacks and destruction of farm crops, livestock, and other properties within Bokkos LGA is becoming worrisome and must be checked immediately.
