Former Sokoto State Governor, Senator Aminu Tambuwal
BY ANKELI EMMANUEL, Sokoto –
Worried by the consistency of the attacks and killings by suspected gunmen in Plateau state, the Senator representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has described 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.
In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Tambuwal described the killings and destruction as “cruel, unjustified, and intolerable”, adding that “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”, he said.
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.
He charged the Federal Government to live up to its constitutional duty of protecting lives and property.
“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.
