HON. ENGR. SOLOMON MAREN CONDEMNS GRUESOME ATTACK ON KOMBUN DISTRICT

9th January, 2020

The Member Representating Mangu/Bokkos Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Engr. Solomon Bulus Maren, FNSE, FNICE, FITP, has condemned in strong terms the gruesome murder of 12 innocent and harmless youths by gunmen who invaded peaceful Kulben village in Kombun District of Mangu LGA in the early hours of Thursday, January 9, 2020.

The attack which comes barely 24hrs after securities foiled a similar attack believed to be armed banditry in neighboring Kon Village of Kerang Ward on Wednesday, is “evil, barbaric and ungodly,” said the Rep Member in a swift reaction.

Hon. Maren, while commiserating with the families of those killed, vowed to pursue justice into the incident by taking it up as a matter of urgent importance.

“My heart is torn to shreds and I feel the pain of these poor families. We will do everything humanly possible to ensure that any person or group of people found culpable in this attack is decisively dealt with. They will not be allowed to go unpunished. They shall face the full wrath of the law,” Maren said.

He assured of working with all stakeholders to ensure the peace and security of Mangu/Bokkos constituency.

The Rep Member who recently donated 30 motorcycles to traditional rulers for use in rural patrol and intelligence gathering commended security agencies for swiftly responding to the threat and arresting suspects connected to it.

He therefore called for calm, pleading that no one takes the law into their hands but allow Government to deal with the matter lawfully.

Signed.
