Governor Simon Lalong Wednesday said he is appalled by yet another isolated attack that took place at Yelwa Zangam village of Jos North Local Government Area on Tuesday night where properties were destroyed and some persons killed.

The Governor in a statement signed by Simon Macham, his director of press and pubic affairs totally condemns this barbaric act and directs security agencies who have already arrested 10 suspects in connection with the attack to intensify efforts in tracking down the other assailants and their sponsors in order to bring them to justice.

The statement reads that “Lalong is furious over the incident which security reports indicate was carefully planned as the bridge linking the village was said to have been destroyed in order to deny security forces access to the area during the attack.

He sympathizes with the affected people and calls for calm, assuring them that they will get justice.

Governor Lalong again warns criminals that they will be pursued, arrested, and dealt with, no matter how long it takes, as his administration will not allow the reign of terror to persist and rubbish all the investments made in restoring calm in the State.

Meanwhile, the Governor has praised the gallantry of security forces that successfully engaged and neutralized 6 criminals that belong to a syndicate that specializes in kidnapping innocent people in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
