RT. HON. YAKUBU SANDA CONDEMNS ATTACK ON TA'AGBE VILLAGE. 

Speaker, Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda describes the reported attack on Ta’agbe Village of Miango District in Bassa Local Government Area as unacceptable and barbaric. 

A statement signed by Sabastine S. Hommuk,

Press Secretary to the speaker stated that Rt. Hon. Y. Sanda noted that the attack of Friday, 26th November, 2021 that left a number of persons including children killed and houses burnt, is another attempt by criminal minded persons to disrupt the hard earned peace and putting the State in bad light. 

The Speaker noted with concern, the increasing waves of attack on innocent and defenceless people in Miango, with no justification and called on security agencies to swift into action and apprehend those behind the criminal act. 

Rt. Hon. Sanda said the house will not seat and watch innocent citizens and their property destroyed– as such, the house will stand in defence of its people, as this act of provocation must stop. 

He maintained that the house will work closely with the Executive and Security agencies in addressing the increasing waves of criminality in the the area. 

The Speaker while sympathizing with the families and victims of those killed, assured that the families of the victims will get justice and those behind the act will be unmasked. 

He called on the State Emergency Management Agency other relevant Government agencies to intervene and provide succor to the affected people as a result of the attack. 

The Speaker appeals for calm and urges the people not to take the law into their hands, but rather assist the security agencies with useful information that will unmask the identity of the attackers.
