Presidency has condemned the attack on travellers from a religious event in Bauchi, passing through Jos, Plateau State Capital.
A presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a statement on Saturday night, said the Presidency regretted the deaths of at least 21 persons with several others injured in the ambush.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of what he called “gruesome massacre of innocent travellers” and bring them to justice in line with his commitment to protect all Nigerians.
The Presidency commended the ongoing efforts by the Governors of Plateau, Bauchi, and Ondo; the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Sa’ad Abubakar III, and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi as well as a number of notable Christian and Muslim leaders for intensifying efforts to calm down the situation.
The Presidency, which offered condolences to the families of the victims, had continued to liaise with the local authorities, including security, the police, and governmental agencies.
The statement titled ‘Presidency Strongly Condemns Hoodlum Attacks on Travellers’ read: “It is widely known that Plateau State has been one of the states affected by herder-farmer clashes, which have, in a significant way, been curtailed following the intense peace-building efforts of the administration of Governor Simon Lalong.
“However, to be clear, this is not an agriculturalist-on-pastoralist confrontation – but rather a direct, brazen and wickedly motivated attack on members of a community exercising their rights to travel freely and to follow the faith of their choosing.
“With the evident preparedness of their attackers, it is clear this was a well-conceived and prearranged assault on a known target, location and religious persuasion of the travellers not an opportunist ambush.
“These kinds of attacks on our country’s citizens are unacceptable, heinous, and stand in complete contradiction to the teachings of the great religions of our nation.
“The Presidency stands steadfast with both Christians and Muslims at this time in condemnation of this latest attack and expects and insists that justice is swiftly – but fairly – delivered to the perpetrators.”

as I found this paragraph at this web page.
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Anyhow, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
It’s impressive that you are getting ideas from this paragraph as well as from our argument made at this place.
I used to be recommended this blog by means of my cousin. I am not certain whether this put up is written through him as no one else know such particular about my problem.
You are incredible! Thank you!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Greetings, I think your website may be having web browser compatibility problems.
When I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that, fantastic website!
What’s up to every one, as I am genuinely eager of reading this web
site’s post to be updated regularly. It contains good information.
In fact no matter if someone doesn’t know after that
its up to other users that they will assist, so here it takes
place.
This is my first time go to see at here and i am genuinely happy
to read everthing at one place.
It’s fantastic that you are getting ideas from this piece of writing
as well as from our dialogue made at this place.
Thank you for the good writeup. It if truth be told used to be a amusement account it.
Glance advanced to far delivered agreeable from
you! By the way, how can we communicate?
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes
which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here
and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your
theme? Superb work!
Since the admin of this web page is working, no doubt very quickly it will be famous, due to its feature contents.
Everything composed made a ton of sense.
However, what about this? what if you typed a catchier post title?
I am not suggesting your information is not solid, however what if you added a headline to possibly get a
person’s attention? I mean Presidency condemns attack
on travellers in Plateau state – Courtroom Mail is kinda boring.
You might glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create article headlines to
get viewers interested. You might try adding a video
or a picture or two to get people excited about everything’ve written.
Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little
bit more interesting.
