Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has condemned the incessant attacks on communities in Plateau, which led to killings and displacement of people.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Thursday, Abbas said it was devastating to hear the news about renewed attacks and hostility in communities in Mangu Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

The Speaker said he would meet with President Bola Tinubu on the matter, pending the resumption of the National Assembly from its Christmas and New Year break.<\/p>\n

He said the House would kick-start plans to organise a security summit to find lasting solutions to the challenges, saying that enough is enough on the Plateau killings.<\/p>\n

Abbas recalled that there had been continuous attacks in some communities in Plateau since December 2023, which led to the deaths of many people.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust this week, attacks were reported in Mangu where scores of people were killed. The latest incident led the Plateau government to impose a 24-hour curfew in the area. I am deeply saddened by the continuous killings in Plateau. It is unfortunate and disheartening that this is happening at this time when efforts are on to tackle insecurity around the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call on the people of Plateau to live in peace with one another, as they were known for years back. We cannot continue like this as a people. Our Creator, in His wisdom, brought us together for a reason, and we must continue to appreciate our differences and form a common front to tackle our collective challenges instead of killing ourselves. This path will only take us backwards,\u201d Abbas said.<\/p>\n
