MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION, PLATEAU STATE.

PRESS STATEMENT

The Plateau State Government has noted with utmost concern the resurgence of violent attacks in some parts of the State – just when the state had been enjoying steady peace for some time. These recent unprovoked attacks have resulted in the loss of many lives especially and caused pain among the people.

The latest attacks in some parts of Jos South, Barkin Ladi and Wase Local Government Areas appear deliberately aimed at plunging the State into larger and perpetual theatre of conflict. However, the State Government has, in consultation with security agencies adopted various measures to stop any spread of violence. Government has also directed Local Government Management Committee Chairmen of the affected areas to adopt specific pro-active measures to douse tension and maintain the peace of the areas.
