The Senator representing Plateau Central in the National Assembly, Diket Plang, has said that President Bola Tinubu and the new Service Chiefs will find a solution to the series of attacks and killings in the State.

Senator Plang who arrived in Plateau state for the first time after the inauguration in Abuja, gave the assurance while speaking with journalists in Jos regarding the ugly happenings in his constituency

It has frequently been in the news within the past three months, that there had been persistent attacks by gunmen particularly within the Mangu LGA and other parts of the central zone of Plateau State. No fewer than 250 persons had died as a result of the attacks with properties worth millions of naira destroyed.

The Senator who condemned the killings and destruction of properties in his Constituency noted that the crisis in the area was expanding and must not be allowed to continue.

He said: “The situation in Mangu which used to be the most peaceful LGA in Plateau state is unacceptable. Many people have been killed and their properties destroyed. The crisis in the Plateau Central unfortunately is expanding and has extended to Mangu. I’m very certain that the people of Plateau and indeed Nigerians are saddened by the event that has taken place in the affected LGAs. We must find a solution to the situation at hand”.

The Senator urged the residents to give maximum support to the new administration led by President Bola Tinubu, saying “If the efforts of the previous administration have failed, there must be another way of handling the Security issues in the State, because it is long overdue.”
