Gunmen has attacked the Mgbrazongo village in Bassa Local Government area of Plateau State killing 4 persons including a pastor with several properties destroyed.

The State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong has therefore ordered security agencies to go after the killers and fish them out to face justice.

Governor Lalong who expressed disgust over the barbaric actions of the criminals who do not only have respect for the sanctity of human lives, but have been consumed by their orgy for blood letting, said it is unfortunate that they choose the period when the State is working hard to confront the Coronavirus pandemic to perpetrate their murderous acts.

The Governor who sympathised with the victims of the killings, said “Government will not tolerate these senseless acts of murder unleashed on innocent citizens and have directed traditional and community leaders to cooperate with security agencies in identifying these attackers who cannot be shielded as these attacks have persisted in recent weeks, a situation that is highly unacceptable to my administration”.

It will be recalled that some communities in Bassa Local Government Area recently came under attack where lives, properties and livestock were lost. They include Ancha, Hukke and Nkyiedonworo.

The Governor has dispatched a fact finding team led by the Commissioner for Commerce, Aku Abbey who visited the Bra Ngwe Rigwe, His Royal Highness, Reverend Ronku Aka and met with stakeholders including village and district heads, Ardos, and community leaders.

The stakeholders called for deployment of more security personnel in the communities which include Rehwenku,Tafigana, Katumai Rekwechongu, and Kpasho which are vulnerable to attacks.

The Governor has also directed the Peace Building Agency to engage relevant stakeholders to arrest such attacks through systematic dialogue as well as an enhanced security architecture.
