In a visit to the communities affected by violent attacks, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State pledged to pursue justice for the victims of the gunmen who targeted Dorowa Babuje and Jong in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area. Represented by his deputy, Ngo Piyo, Mutfwang expressed his condolences and emphasized the state's commitment to maintaining peace amidst ongoing security challenges. The governor declared that violence against innocent citizens would not be tolerated and urged the full enforcement of the law against such crimes.

Mutfwang’s visit comes in the wake of a distressing incident that has heightened fears of violence in the region. He described the attacks as a painful setback for the community and assured the public that security agencies would launch thorough investigations to identify and apprehend those responsible. The governor's appeals to the youth and the wider community were aimed at fostering a cooperative environment where residents remain vigilant and discourage vigilantism, which could exacerbate tensions.

This incident reflects the broader security situation in Nigeria, where communities often grapple with the impacts of violence and conflicts. Mutfwang's statements indicate a resolution to confront these challenges head-on, but the effectiveness of the promised actions remains to be seen. The emotional toll of such violence on the residents, coupled with the need for effective governmental response, poses both a challenge and a critical opportunity for the Plateau State government as it seeks to reassure its citizens and restore lasting peace.
