Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, today visited Plateau State to commiserate with the government and people over the deadly gunmen attack in Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area.
Speaking at the Plateau State Government House after being received by Governor Caleb Mutfwang, the IGP vowed to bring the perpetrators of the deadly Sunday night attack to justice.
Disu strongly condemned the attack, which claimed the lives of several innocent citizens, describing it as tragic and unacceptable.
In a decisive response, the IGP said he had earlier deployed the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations, DIG Umar Shehu Nadada, to Plateau to assess the situation on the ground, coordinate ongoing operations and rejig existing security measures in conjunction with other security agencies.
Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang while speaking at the occasion expressed deep appreciation for the show of solidarity by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and security chiefs, saying the gathering gives him hope that the state can overcome its long-standing security challenges.
Mutfwang recalled that the security problem predated his administration, noting that former governors Chief Joshua Dariye, Jonah Jang and Simon Lalong all battled it.
The governor urged community leaders to educate residents on the need for extra vigilance, to end complacency and to curb the misuse of social media, which fuels tension by recycling old videos and voice notes.
