“Anyone who will sneak under the cover of the night and kill defenceless citizens as done in Jos and Kahir village, is a heartless coward. By attacking soft targets in Jos, their objective is not only to cause harm but also trigger a spiral of reprisal attacks and further bloodletting,” said Tinubu.
Onanuga noted that Tinubu has directed security agencies to intensify all efforts to pursue the perpetrators and emphasised that public cooperation is vital to maintaining peace and protecting lives and property.
Tinubu also urged residents of the affected communities to comply with evacuation, relocation, and related advice and processes.
“I urge our security agencies to be more proactive in preventing these attacks by acting on early warning intelligence. All the remaining abductees from Kahir village must be rescued immediately,” Tinubu added.
“I assure the people and government of the two states of my support. I commiserate with the families of those killed and pray for the quick recovery of the injured.”
