Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has assured that the killers of a traditional ruler, Acting Gwom Rwey Foron, Da Bulus Janka, who was murdered in his home at Rasat community of Foron in Barkin Ladi Local Government, will be apprehended and dealt with accordingly.
Governor Lalong, who expressed anger over the killing of the traditional ruler, said the murderers will not be allowed to go unpunished as security agencies in collaboration with local intelligence have launched a thorough investigation to arrest the perpetrators and their collaborators.
Lalong said, “The Local Government Chairman and heads of security agencies have briefed me on the sad development and the level of investigation so far.”
He emphasised that the days of unknown gunmen are over in Plateau State as innocent people cannot be killed without anybody being apprehended and put to trial. He assured that the government will use the concept of community policing to dig into this particular case and see to it that the criminals are arrested.
The Governor also appealed to citizens across the State to intensify vigilance against criminals who are bent on rupturing the peace of the State at all costs, assuring that they will not be allowed to succeed.
Lalong sympathised with the family of the royal father, the people of Barkin Ladi, as well as the entire State over the unfortunate incident.
