    President Bola Tinubu has described as “unacceptable and barbaric” the tragic killing of travellers in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.

    This came as he instructed security authorities to quickly apprehend and bring the criminals to justice.

    Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, Information and Strategy, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

    Chronicle NG reports that no fewer than 12 travellers were killed by an irate mob in the Mangun community of the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.

    The travellers, who were 31 in an 18-seater bus, were headed to a wedding in Qua’an Pan LGA of Plateau State when they were ambushed by the mob, resulting in the death of twelve, including the father and brother of the groom.

    Reacting to the attack, the presidency in a statement said, “President Bola Tinubu has condemned the killing of travellers in Plateau State, urging security forces to ensure the arrest and punishment of the culprits.

    “Reacting to the news of the murder of 12 wedding guests, including the father and brother of the groom, the president described the heinous action as unacceptable and barbaric.

    “The victims, many of them injured, were travelling from Zaria, in Kaduna State, to Jos, in Plateau State. President Tinubu directs the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) to work with other security and intelligence agencies to ensure those responsible for the attack are held accountable.

    “The president called for calm, promising not to allow the dastardly act to go unpunished. The government of Plateau State must take decisive action in handling these vicious cycles of violence.

    “The state government must work with security agents to get to the root of this recent incident and use it as a deterrent against future occurrences.

    “Freedom of movement by all citizens is non-negotiable. We will not tolerate any attempt by anyone or any group of people to curtail that fundamental freedom through acts of extreme violence and fear.

    “The President commiserates with the victims’ families and the people and government of Kaduna State.”
