Comrade
Shamdung Ayuba Jepla has condemned the gruesome killings of 15 defenceless
members of Kulben community in Kumbol District Mangu Local Government Area of
Plateau State. Jepla who is the National Auditor of the Nigerian Union of Local
Government Employees (NULGE), further prayed God to grant the Plateau State
Government, the people of Plateau State in general and family members of the
victims in particular the fortitude to
bear the great loss and reposed the souls of the victims.
In a
statement on Saturday, a copy which is made available to African Drum, the
unionist described as unfortunate as the incident happened when residents were
celebrating the return of peace to the state and advised the perpetrators to
remember the Day of Judgment.
“It is
really surprising and unfortunate that at a time when we are celebrating the
return of peace in the State then this sad development came in. For how long shall
we continue to shed tears as a result of gruesome murder of innocent, defenseless
people by the so called ‘unknown gunmen’? The government should sit up to its
security responsibility, by securing and protecting lives and property of its citizens,
“said Jepla
He called on the Plateau State Government, to
emulate the South West by also introducing a home bred security outfit to
tackle our peculiar security challenge taking into cognizance the number of
losses recorded over the year across almost every local government areas of the
state.
