CONDOLENCE STATEMENT
The tragic and senseless attack on innocent residents of Angwan Rukuba Community in Jos North Local Government Area is one that I condemn in the strongest possible terms.
This barbaric act of violence, which has led to the painful loss of precious lives and left many families in sorrow, is deeply heartbreaking and completely unacceptable. Reports on Monday said the attack prompted a 48-hour curfew in Jos North, with police confirming multiple deaths and several injuries.
My heartfelt condolences go to the families who have lost their loved ones in this painful incident.
No words can truly heal the grief and trauma that such a wicked act has caused, but I pray that God grants the bereaved families the strength, comfort, and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.
I also stand in solidarity with the entire Angwan Rukuba community, all residents of Jos North and the Plateau State Government at this difficult time. My prayers are with every family affected, the injured receiving treatment, and all those living in fear and uncertainty as a result of this unfortunate tragedy.
Let me assure Nigerians that the Federal Government under the able leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains fully committed to confronting and defeating banditry, terrorism, and all forms of criminality across our country.
Security agencies are being strengthened and every necessary step is being taken to restore peace, protect lives, and ensure that those behind these heinous acts are brought to justice.
At this critical moment, we must remain united, vigilant, and prayerful. I pray that God comforts the people of Angwan Rukuba, heals the wounded, protects Plateau State, and restores lasting peace, safety, and harmony to our dear nation, Nigeria.
