the operation Safe Haven, to swing into action and apprehend the culprits as
soon as possible.

statement during a world press conference on the murder issue in Jos today. Please read the full text below:
It is with
deep sense of loss and painful heart that we receive the sad news of the
gruesome murder and assassination of the Jos East Action Democratic Party (ADP)
Chairman, Mr Waziri Isua Fursom on Thursday 2nd November 2017 around
9.00 pm in his village Bayan Dutse – Fursom, Jos East LGA of Plateau State.
The late Jos
East ADP chairman was assassinated by wicked dare devils that pumped 16 bullets
into his body. The villager heard gun shots but because of reverberation they
couldn’t come to the rescue of the victim.
The ADP Plateau
State totally condemn this heinous crime against humanity and call on the
Plateau State Government and the Operation Safe Haven to swing into action by
apprehending the culprits using all security agencies as soon as possible.
We will not
accept anything short of arresting those behind the killing of our quiet and
unassuming LGA Chairman. We demand for fortified security protection to all ADP
leaders in the country as the APC sees us as a treat.
It is very
unfortunate that while the APC government describes itself as restoring peace
on the Plateau, we are witnessing political assassination and the killing of
farmers by Fulani Herdsmen in the land. This is one killing too many and it
must stop forthwith.
The ADP
Plateau State strongly believes that no blood of any Nigerian should be shed
for any political consideration and position because power comes from God and
not man. The killing of an innocent soul is not a guarantee for winning
elections.
We send our
deepest condolences to the wife, children, family, the members of the ADP and
indeed the entire peace loving people of Izere nation over the untimely demise
of an astute, viable, amiable, adorable, focused, purposeful and powerful
politician in Jos East LGA in particular and the state at large. We shall miss
his advice and doggedness.
Adieu Mr.Waziri Isua Fursom.
Signed: Chief Amb. Nanyah A. Daman (JP)
Chairman, Action Democratic Party (ADP)
Plateau
State.
