Plateau Massacre

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the Senator representing Kogi Central senatorial district, has expressed sadness over the latest round of violence and killings in Plateau.

The senator, in a statement issued on Tuesday in Lokoja by her Media Aide, Orogbonlo Israel, described the killings as “as one tragedy too many”.

The Plateau Police Command on Tuesday, confirmed 96 persons killed, while 221 houses were set ablaze on Christmas Eve attacks by gunmen.

However, the state Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, said on Tuesday that the death toll in the latest coordinated attacks on Plateau had increased to over 115.

Worried by the senseless and wanton killings, Natasha called on the federal government and security operatives to rise to the occasion to stop a repeat of the act.

Natasha said, “I know this is a difficult moment to celebrate Christmas, knowing that people are being killed for no just cause.

“I hereby call for the immediate arrest and prosecution of perpetrators of the dastardly acts in Plateau.

“The federal government must rise to the occasion and put measures in place to mitigate a recurrence of such a dastardly act.”

The lawmaker, however, condoled with the victims, the government and people of Plateau, over the irreparable loss of precious lives and destruction of properties.
