Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has assured residents of Bin Mper in Mangu Local Government Area that they will not be displaced from their ancestral lands, following a deadly attack on the community.
Mr Mutfwang gave the assurance on Thursday when he visited the community to sympathise with victims and families of those killed in the attack, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday.
The governor described the attack as barbaric, senseless and unacceptable, saying it was an assault not only on the community but also on his administration.
“This is not an attack on the community alone; it is an attack on me. I pray that God will grant you peace and comfort,” Mr Mutfwang said.
He said the police had arrested some suspects in connection with the attack and assured residents that the government would ensure that those responsible were brought to justice.
