Group urges Tinubu to end crisis in Plateau, Southern Kaduna

A group, Northern Consensus Movement, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to find a lasting solution to the lingering crisis in Plateau and Southern Kaduna.
The National President of the group, Dr Auwal Aliyu, said while addressing journalists on Sunday in Kaduna that the President should also initiate appropriate measures to ensure peaceful coexistence in the two areas.
According to him, it is necessary to avert further bloodshed as witnessed recently in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau and Tudun Fulbe village, Kachia LGA, Kaduna State.
He said that the group was concerned about the recurring crisis and loss of lives and property and would support efforts in finding lasting solutions.
Mr Aliyu said that government must act decisively to prevent agents of death from continuing with their evil actions, which was hazardous to peace and peaceful coexistence.
The national president called on the youth not to succumb to any temptation to take the laws into their hands to avoid further breakdown of law and order and escalation of the crisis.
He commended security agencies for their efforts and urged them to continue to act professionally in all operational engagements.
“While we express our loyalty and total support to our security agencies as they are superintending in fighting criminality and crime in our society, we urge them to maintain neutrality,” the national president added.
Mr Aliyu also advised security agencies to prosecute anyone suspected of igniting the crisis in any form.
