Senator Diket Plang, representing Plateau Central of Plateau State, has condemned the gruesome killing of a community leader, the Ardo of Panyam, Alhaji Adamu Idris Gabdo, in the Mangu local government area of the state and called on security men to bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book.
The Senator, in a statement, described the unfortunate incident that occurred on Saturday as barbaric, senseless, and unwarranted, adding that the incident was perpetrated by some criminal elements who wanted to jeopardize and turn away the ongoing peace initiatives in the local government.
Senator Plang said the killing of Ardo by yet-to-be-identified criminals was a rude shock to him and all the peace-loving people in the local government, considering the relative peace being enjoyed by the people of the local government after the recent crisis in the council.
He commended the security agents for their prompt response to the incident and implored them to spread out their dragnets to ensure that the killers of the Ardo are apprehended and brought to justice.
“We cannot continue like this; I therefore urge the security operatives to do all that is within their power to bring the perpetrators of this cruel act to book and to prevent further attacks in this local government.
“All peace-loving people in this area must also align themselves with the security agents to arrest this ugly trend because no society can survive where human life is so undervalued.
Let’s allow the security agents to do their work. We should not resort to self-help or take the law into our hands as well,” he said.
The Senator, who described the people of the council as peaceful, charged them to be law-abiding and cooperate with the security men in fishing out those behind the heinous crime.
