Caleb Mutfwang, governor of Plateau, on Wednesday visited President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja to discuss the recent killings in his state.
Suspected bandits attacked a popular bar at Angwan Rukuba community in Jos North in Plateau State on March 29, killing and injuring several residents. At least 28 people were reported dead after the attack.
Speaking with State House correspondent after meeting Tinubu, the Plateau governor said the security operatives have brought the situation under control.
Mutfwang said he discussed with the president the steps that must be taken to address the state’s security challenges. Describing the attacks in the state as “an act of terrorism”, the governor noted that the motive of the perpetrators is not yet known.
“We imposed a curfew, which we relaxed yesterday into this morning. I mean, we relaxed this morning from 8 a.m. to 3 pm, but unfortunately, this morning some looters tried to disrupt the peace again,” he said.
“What I can assure you is that this has become a decisive turning point that I’m sure going forward, we’re going to see more proactive actions.
“As the chief security officer of the state, how can you correct this impression, the true picture of what is happening? Well, in a crisis of this nature, you can’t reduce it to one reason.
