President Bola Tinubu has condemned the latest massacre in Plateau State, where gunmen killed at least 51 people in Zikke and Kakpa villages, Bassa LGA, in the early hours of Monday.
Describing the continued bloodshed as unacceptable, Tinubu urged Governor Caleb Mutfwang to address the root causes of the recurring ethno-religious violence and find lasting peace.
"I have directed security agencies to go after the perpetrators. Enough is enough," Tinubu said in a statement, reaffirming the Federal Government's support for Plateau in restoring order.
The attack, the latest in a string of violent incidents, saw homes razed and dozens injured. Local youths and Amnesty International Nigeria blamed security lapses and called for justice.
Meanwhile, troops of Operation Safe Haven rescued 16 kidnapped passengers during a late-night operation along Jos-Mangu road, repelling the attackers.
