Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State says his administration will not negotiate with terrorists or criminal elements, insisting that the government will sustain ongoing security operations to restore lasting peace across the state.
Mutfwang made the declaration while speaking during a Democracy Day Town Hall Meeting, where he also highlighted key interventions of his administration in agriculture, water infrastructure, security and social services.
He maintained that engaging or negotiating with criminals remained off the table, stressing that security agencies must continue to take decisive action against perpetrators.
The governor said his administration had intensified security operations across the state in collaboration with security agencies, community leaders and traditional institutions, noting that the strategy had begun to yield positive results in affected areas.
Mutfwang said ongoing investigations were helping to uncover wider criminal networks behind some of the attacks, while the government continued to support security agencies with logistics and intelligence gathering.
