The House of Representatives minority caucus has called on the authorities to nip in the bud the incessant killings of the citizenry in Plateau state.
Led by Kingsley Chinda, the caucus in a statement noted the murders on the Plateau have gone on for too long and must be stopped.
The caucus urged National Assembly Security Committees to draw strength from sections 4, 88, and 89 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, as amended, to commence a proper and detailed investigation into the persistent murders and proffer legislative solutions to end the unfortunate incident.
It noted: “The invasion of five communities and the killings of over seventy persons by unknown gunmen in Gashish and Ropp Districts of Barkin Ladi and Bokkos local government areas of Plateau State on Christmas eve have raised national and global concerns about the security of persons in Nigeria, particularly the North Central region of Nigeria and murders that have gone for too long on the Plateau.
