Governor
Simon Lalong of Plateau state is intensifying collaboration with the
legislative arm in finalizing the appropriate legal frameworks to ensure
that those that attack and murder innocent members of communities are brought
to Justice.
Gov Lalong,
in a statement issued by the State commissioner of Information &
Communication Hon. Yakubu Dati, said the review of the criminal justice
act will ensure quick dispensation of justice, without fear or favour.
On the recent attack in Rayfield, Dati also
conveyed the condolences of the Governor to all those who lost their loved ones
and property as well as the injured that were visited by government in the
hospital.
He urged
religious groups, and NGOs engaged in various peace initiatives not to
relent in their efforts, but to sustain their advocacy, just as security
agencies were also making frantic effort to unravel the assailants.
Lalong further called on members of the public
to be vigilant and unite against criminal elements who are bent on taking
the state back to the dark days.
