C.J.DAKAS ADVOCATES SYNERGY TO ADDRESS CURRENT CHALLENGES.

A legal luminary, Professor Dakas Clement Dakas has urged governments at all levels to synergize with religious and traditional leaders to address the security challenges facing the country.

Dakas, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and former Dean of Law University of Jos, while decrying the manipulation of religion, ethnicity and other sectoral fault-lines to heat up the system for parochial interests also tasked security agencies to be more proactive, fair and intelligence-driven in their operations to solve the issue of insecurity in the nation.

Prof. Dakas who condemned  the barbaric and dastardly killings, including destruction of properties, in Jos North, Riyom and Bassa Local Government Areas of Plateau State recently also sympathized with the victims and called for the immediate apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrators to serve as a deterrent to centrifugal forces and those who harbour criminal and other sinister intentions. 

He urged Plateau citizens to build bridges across religious and ethnic divides for the progress of the state and the entire country.

The legal luminary also frowned at the abuse of social media to peddle fake, concocted and unverified stories that heat up the polity and cause great havoc on the nation.

Pro. Dakas urged Plateau citizens to be calm and exercise their rights within the framework of the law.

He expressed confidence that Plateau State and Nigeria as a nation would overcome these challenges in no distant time to enable political leadership provide democracy dividends and foster national integration for holistic national development.
