Plateau youths, on Wednesday, decried the silent killing of
innocent people within Gindiri District of Mangu Local Government Area of the
state.
Freedomonline.com.ng reports that Mr Henry Nadoma, National President, Pyen Youths Movement (PYM), stated this during a courtesy call on the Chairman, Mangu Local Government, Mr Lawrence Danat, on Wednesday.
Nadoma, who was represented by the Vice President of the
movement, Zakari Abbas, said: “we, the people of Gindiri as a district are
under siege by unseen and unknown enemies”.
“The frequent killings of innocent citizens in Gindiri axis are alarming and
disturbing to us as citizens and we are in dire need of assistance from the
Federal, state and local governments.
“In fact, what we need is speedy
intervention, especially the security agencies to take more drastic actions at
giving us the desired protection and cover from the killers.
“It could be recalled that we have two
recent attacks that left a traditional ruler and a famous illustrious son dead
with no trace of the perpetrators of such heinous acts,” he said.
While responding, Danat condemned the
killings of innocent people by criminal elements in the Gindiri axis.
He called for caution among residents of
the area in accommodating visitors “whose identities are not truly ascertained
to serve as a check on such heinous acts in our communities.”
According to the online news portal, the
chairman urged the people of the area to
“be vigilant at all times so as to stem
the tide of such disturbing trend.”
He was quick to add that people must be
willing to give useful information to security operatives in spite of all odds, toward restoring peace in the area.
Danat, however, assured the visiting
youths, of the Council’s readiness to
provide more mobility to security personnel to aid effective patrol in the
area. Zignalor
