Get Guardian on GoogleGovernor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has called for the immediate arrest of individuals behind the killing of travelling indigenes of the state by a suspected mob in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a statement issued by the governor, Sani condemned the savage act of the mob and charged security operatives to comb all nooks and crannies of the state to bring the perpetrators to book without delay.
Miffed by such an act of savagery, the governor vowed that the Kaduna State Government would not leave a stone unturned until the criminals were hunted down and faced the full wrath of the law.
“We must put a stop to the nefarious activities of non-state actors. There is no justification for anybody to attack any citizen of Nigeria in any part of the country. This madness must stop. Enough is enough,” the governor said.
The victims were reportedly travelling from Zaria in Kaduna State to attend a wedding in the Quan Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State when a mob in the Mangun district intercepted them. The attackers killed the travellers instantly, and several others sustained varying degrees of injury.
Governor Sani urged his Plateau State counterpart, Caleb Mutfwang, to take charge of the situation and oversee security operations until the murderers are brought to justice.
