The Plateau State Government has condemned fresh attacks in parts of Mangu and Jos South Local Government Areas, urging residents to reject reprisal attacks and allow security agencies to restore peace.

The attacks occurred amid renewed violence in parts of the state, with several people reportedly killed and others injured.

The state government expressed concern over the development and appealed to residents, particularly communities affected by the attacks, to remain calm and avoid actions that could escalate the situation.

It urged residents to cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information on the activities and movements of suspected attackers.

The government also called on community and traditional leaders to discourage retaliation and work with authorities to prevent further violence.

The renewed attacks have heightened security concerns in Plateau, where recurring clashes and attacks have claimed lives and displaced residents over the years.

The government assured residents that security agencies were working to protect lives and property and restore normalcy to affected communities.

It appealed to residents not to take the law into their own hands, stressing that those responsible for the attacks should be identified and brought to justice through lawful means.
