It is with unimaginable grief and heavy hearts that we receive with the rudest shock the untimely death of our young promising Son, Mr. Rinji Peter Bala who was murdered in cold blood by a security personnel attached to Sector 1 of the Special Task Force (STF) codenamed Operation Safe Heaven on Tuesday 12th May, 2020 in Jos, Plateau State.

POH is deeply saddened by the unprofessional action of the security agent which led to the demise of the deceased in his prime.

We call on the appropriate authorities to swing into action and ensure that justice is served accordingly

As a group, we condemned the gruesome murder of the young Lad in the strongest possible terms.

His killing was irrational, unprofessional, inhuman and wicked considering his innocence in the case he was accused of.

We call on all security personnel to stop the extra-judicial killings and all other forms of human rights violation while discharging their official duties.

Let it be on record that the people of Plateau State will no longer fold their hands and tolerate citizens being harassed, molested and killed innocently.

We admonished all well meaning, peaceful and patriotic citizens to remain calm and not to take law into their hands while the perpetuator is being investigated and penalized in accordance with the laws of the land.

We sympathize with his immediate family, loved ones, the Government of Plateau State and the entire citizens over the ugly incident.

May his soul rest in peace.
