Tinubu Promises Action Against Violence in Plateau State

President Bola Tinubu has committed to a crackdown on violence in Plateau State, promising to deploy federal resources against individuals identified as instigators of ongoing violence. During a meeting with state leaders on Tuesday, he approved N2 billion in relief for victims of the March 29 attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jo North Local Government Area.

Tinubu urged the state leadership to identify provocateurs and assured that the government would take action against them. He endorsed the establishment of a peace committee to review existing conflict resolutions and emphasized the importance of a state police force to effectively manage security challenges.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang expressed his commitment to peace initiatives, highlighting the historical significance of former governors coming together to address these issues. Tinubu's administration aims to foster unity among ethnic groups and combat poverty, which he believes fuels conflict in the region.
