Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has described the killings of 27 travellers by Irigwe militia and their sympathizers in Jos, Plateau State, as sad and unfortunate.

He called for calm among residents, advising people not to take laws into their own hands.

The governor, according to a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Mukhtar Gidado, condemned, in strong terms the attack on innocent travellers who were returning home after attending the annual ZIKR (Prayer Session) in Bauchi, to mark the commencement of the New Islamic year.

He commended the proactive measures taken by the authorities in Plateau State to forestall further breach of law and order, and called on security agencies to fish out the perpetrators for prosecution.
