UPP Condemns Killings In Plateau State

 

We are saddened beyond description by the recent massive destruction

of lives and property of the people of Plateau State by bands of

Fulani insurgents in a well-coordinated mayhem. This is one attack too

many. This particular attack has attained the proportion of a genocide

which has put Nigeria on the world map for reasons we should all be

ashamed of.

 

We fervently urge President Muhammadu Buhari to pay urgent attention

to the security architecture of Nigeria. We urge the Nigeria Police,

especially the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to deploy

the same technology that he has used to crack recent armed robbery and

kidnapping criminal activities where the perpetrators escaped and

within a short time most of them were rounded up with the use of

modern technology of which the general public has applauded the

Police.

 

We believe that these terrorists communicate among themselves and with

their sponsors within and outside Nigeria. It is therefore

unacceptable that the Police Force that has been equipped with modern

technology has not been able to make any significant breakthrough or

made arrest of these blood hounds who have made life so short and

brutish in many parts of Nigeria.

 

If no urgent steps are taken to check the activities of the

insurgents, the political campaigns leading to the much expected 2019

general elections may be seriously jeopardized as no meaningful

campaign can take place in volatile and dangerous environment,

including the fact that very low and poor voter turnout will be

expected in the areas that are unsafe. Such eventuality will not only

constitute a major setback to the consolidation and growth of our

democratic process, it will also be a major minus to the improved

number of registered voters so far recorded by the Independent

National Electoral Commission (INEC), who are looking forward to

participating in the 2019 general elections in an unfettered and safe

environment.
