BY ANKELI EMMANUEL, Sokoto 

Worried by the consistency of the attacks and killings by suspected gunmen in Plateau state, Speaker of the 7th National Assembly and Senator representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has discribed the scenario as the peak of cruelty. 

Tambuwal, who is also the immediate past governor of Sokoto State, said the recent wave of violent attacks which have left scores dead and displaced entire communities in Plateau State should be highly condemned by all well meaning human beings. 

The former governor in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, described the killings and destruction as “cruel, unjustified, and intolerable”, adding “”no sane society should turn a blind eye while innocent lives are taken and communities laid to waste.

““I strongly condemn the recent wave of horrific killings and destruction across communities in Plateau State. “These senseless attacks are cruel, unjustified, and must never be tolerated.” Tambuwal warned. 

While extending his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and all those affected, the lawmaker expressed solidarity with the people of Plateau during what he described as a painful and trying time.

In his charge to the Federal Government to live up to its constitutional duty of protecting lives and property, Tambuwal said, the Federal Government must live up to its primary responsibility. 

“”I urge the security agencies to act swiftly and decisively. The perpetrators must be brought to justice. We cannot allow Nigeria to continue on this dangerous path of violence and impunity,” Tambuwal warned.
