Northern youths condemn Plateau killings, demand action

The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria has strongly condemned the recent surge of violence in Plateau State, urging the federal government to act swiftly and decisively to end the ongoing crisis.
In a statement released on Tuesday in Kaduna, the council voiced deep concern and sorrow over the persistent bloodshed that continues to ravage communities and claim innocent lives across the state.
“We call on the federal government to take immediate and decisive action to halt this crisis. It is imperative that the authorities prioritize the safety of citizens by not only condemning these heinous acts but also by ensuring that the perpetrators are swiftly brought to justice,” said Isah Abubakar, National President of the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria.
The council’s call for urgent intervention follows President Bola Tinubu’s condemnation of the latest attacks in Plateau State, which claimed the lives of more than 40 people.
Meanwhile, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has also spoken out, labeling the killings a serious threat to national unity and peace. CAN President, Daniel Okoh, urged security agencies to take immediate and decisive action to apprehend those responsible, while calling on the government to strengthen efforts to safeguard all communities and prevent further violence.
The council also underscored the importance of unity and solidarity among northern youths in advocating for peace and holding leaders accountable.
“We urge Northern Nigeria to unite against these menacing forces that threaten our peace, stability, and future. It is crucial that we come together, regardless of our backgrounds, to stand firm against the evil that seeks to divide and destroy our communities,” Abubakar said.
