Lalong, who described the killings in plateau as worrisome and intolerable

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State and the senator representing Plateau North in the National Assembly, Istifanus Gyang, have condemned the renewed attacks in the Bassa Local Government Area of the state, which left at least three persons dead and another with injuries between Sunday and Monday.

In a statement on Monday, Lalong, who described the development as worrisome and intolerable, said he had directed the Peace Building Agency to visit the area and get to the root of the killings, insisting that the situation must be brought under control immediately to prevent further degeneration.

The statement signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Macham Makut, quoted the governor as saying, “I want all those involved in these crimes to be arrested and made to face the full weight of the law. While this is going on, the machinery for dialogue, reconciliation and confidence building should be vigorously pursued by the Peace Building Agency with the support of the newly constituted Inter-faith Council.
