Frontline politician, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has strongly condemned the recent wave of deadly attacks in Plateau State, describing the killings of innocent residents as “dastardly” and unacceptable.
Speaking during a visit to affected communities, Adebayo criticized leaders at all levels of government for what he described as a failure to uphold their primary responsibility of protecting lives and property. He stressed that governance is fundamentally about service to the people, urging authorities to prioritize security above all else.
Adebayo noted that President Tinubu bears a constitutional duty to ensure the safety of all Nigerians. According to him, the country possesses sufficient resources and intelligence capabilities to tackle insecurity if there is genuine political will.
“These attackers are cowards,” he said, insisting that criminal groups carrying out hit-and-run assaults cannot be more powerful or better informed than the Nigerian state.
He Stated that such perpetrators should not be able to evade justice if the government acts decisively.
He warned that continued instability in the area poses a serious threat to national unity.
Calling for unity among residents, he urged communities to rise above ethnic and religious divisions and work together to identify and isolate criminal elements and their collaborators. He stressed that justice must be served through lawful means to restore order and confidence.
Reassuring displaced residents, Adebayo declared that no one should be forced to abandon their ancestral homes.
He pledged continued engagement with local communities to promote peace, strengthen cohesion, and support long-term development in the region.
