The Plateau State Government is deeply saddened by the unfortunate attack on Bidi (Jebu) community of Tahoss village in Riyom Local Government Area on Monday, July 14, 2025, which led to the loss of lives and property.

It said the senseless act of violence by yet to be identified gunmen is strongly condemned and unacceptable.

A statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hon. Joyce Ramnap, said the government sympathises with the families of the victims and all those affected by the tragic incident.

According to Ramnap, Governor Caleb Mutfwang has directed security agencies to intensify surveillance and bring the perpetrators to justice through additional deployment of troops.

“Government is appealing to the people of Bidi, Sopp, and surrounding communities to remain calm, be vigilant, avoid any form of retaliation, report any suspicious activities to authorities and cooperate with security agencies.

“Security remains our collective responsibility and the government is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens,” she added.
