The Tiv Youth Council Worldwide has condemned what it described as gruesome, the murder of travellers in Gada-Biyu, along the Jos -Zaria road, Plateau State.
The president of the group, Mike Msuaan, in a press statement on Monday, extended his heartfelt condolences to loved ones and families of the persons killed in such an inhuman manner.
The statement said: “The Tiv Youth Council Worldwide calls on the state, the federal government and security agencies not to leave any stone unturned in arresting and prosecuting all those involved in the dastardly act.”
Commenting further, the president tasked the government and agencies of government to unravel the remote and immediate causes of such an unfortunate act with the intention to nip it in the bud.
The president wondered why the lives of innocent citizens of Ondo State returning from the New Year prayer would be hacked down in such a manner.
While commending the security agencies for the swift response which has led to the arrest of over 20 suspects, the group appealed to the security agencies to investigate further.
The group, therefore, called on members of the community to volunteer information to security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of such heinous act, stressing that development could not take place in an atmosphere of violence and chaos.
