Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Executive Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has condemned Friday\u2019s mob attack in Mangun District of Mangu Local Government Area that claimed the lives of at least eight travelers from Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST earlier reported that the victims were part of a 31-member group from the Basawa community in Zaria, Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

They were travelling in an 18-seater Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria bus en route to Qua\u2019an Pan Local Government Area for a wedding ceremony when they lost their way and were attacked by a mob after stopping to ask for directions.<\/p>\n

Governor Mutfwang, who visited the scene of the incident and survivors receiving treatment at Mangu General Hospital, expressed deep sorrow over the attack. He described the mob action as \u201cutterly condemnable and avoidable,\u201d stressing that the victims were innocent commuters caught in a volatile area battling sustained terrorist threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a tragic day for us in Plateau State. I never imagined such a senseless act of violence could occur within our borders,\u201d he said. \u201cThe same youths who have supported our security efforts must not become perpetrators of jungle justice. This is unacceptable, and we will not sweep it under the carpet.\u201d<\/p>\n

He extended his condolences to the bereaved families, the government and people of Kaduna State, and the Zazzau Emirate. He also announced plans to dispatch a high-level delegation to Kaduna to commiserate with the victims\u2019 families.<\/p>\n

Governor Mutfwang directed that all injured victims receive full medical care at the government\u2019s expense and urged security agencies to investigate the incident thoroughly and ensure that all those responsible face justice.<\/p>\n
