The Executive Governor of
Plateau State, Rt Hon. SimonBakoLalong, has appealed for calm, following the
attack last night by armed gunmen in Dong village of Jos North Local Government
Area of the state, which culminated in the unfortunate loss of lives of some
people in the area.
The Governor, in a statement
issued on Friday, noted that relative calm had been restored to the area
following the deployment of adequate security and urged the people to remain
law-abiding.
Governor Lalong therefore
sympathizes with the bereaved and injured assuring that government is taking
steps to alleviate their pains.
He calls on citizens to
volunteer useful information to security agencies that will lead to the arrest
of the criminals and also enjoins the good people of the State to resist the
temptation of spreading wild and unfounded rumours that tend to aggravate the
situation.
Governor Lalong also said
that security agencies have been directed to do everything possible to smoke
out the perpetrators of the crime from their hideouts in order to end the
repeated orgy of violence in the state.
“Besides the logistic
support to security agencies, the state government has already procured 51
(fifty one) operational vehicles to enhance their operations.
“This is in addition to the
upgrade of the communication gadgets at the State Police Command Headquarters,
aimed at augmenting the efforts of the security personnel, some of whom have paid
the supreme price,” the statement added.
