Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Plateau State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr Lawandi Datti, has warned youths against jungle justice, advising them to report their concerns to constituted authorities.<\/p>\n

Datti stated this when he visited the family of the late Fwinbe Gofwan, who was gruesomely murdered by a mob in Jos on September 25.<\/p>\n

Gofwan, a minibus driver, was murdered by a mob over an allegation.<\/p>\n

The commissioner urged the youths to be law-abiding citizens and avoid taking laws into their hands.<\/p>\n

He applauded the Nigeria Police Force for immediately arresting one of the suspects.<\/p>\n

Datti extended his condolences to the deceased\u2019s family and the entire Plateau youth.<\/p>\n

Father of the deceased, Mr Thomas Gofwan, thanked the commissioner for the condolence visit, which he described as consoling.<\/p>\n

Gofwan, however, called on the Plateau Government to ensure that the perpetrators of the heinous crime were brought to justice.<\/p>\n

Elder John Gobak, former Secretary to the Government of Plateau, described the murder of Gofwan as a devastating episode.<\/p>\n

Gobak, who is the friend of the deceased father, said that the late Gofwan was an industrious and receptive young man who cared about people.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loves people. He\u2019s always relating well with people, and he was an amiable personality that was ready to do anything to assist others.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment should deal ruthlessly with those arrested in accordance with the provisions of the law to serve as deterrence to others,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n
