Governor Mutfwang Meets Ex-Govs Amid Rising Insecurity in Plateau [PHOTOS]
Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State on Wednesday held a high-level meeting with former governors and key stakeholders in response to escalating security concerns across the state.
The gathering focused on addressing the long-standing insecurity that has led to the deaths of hundreds of people, including women and children, in several communities.
Sources indicate that the meeting may be connected to the recent attack in Anguwan Rukuba and subsequent violence in parts of the state, where dozens were reportedly killed.
Held at the Government House in Little Rayfield, Jos, the meeting was attended by former governors Simon Bako Lalong, Jonah David Jang, Joshua Chibi Dariye, as well as former military administrator, Rear Admiral Samuel Bitrus Atukum (retd.), among other notable figures.
In a statement shared on his verified Facebook page on Thursday, Mutfwang noted that the closed-door session thoroughly examined issues affecting the welfare, well-being, and development of Plateau residents, with particular attention on the recent surge in violent attacks in rural areas.
Participants at the meeting reviewed the security situation and expressed deep concern over the recurring loss of lives and destruction of property over the years.
They resolved to work together to curb the violence by promoting lasting peace, strengthening unity, and fostering peaceful coexistence among residents.
The leaders also agreed on the need to pursue justice for victims and to establish strong frameworks that reflect the values of courage, discipline, and patriotism associated with Plateau State.
