These killings are unacceptable and condemnable. We commiserate with the families of all those who lost their loved ones during the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe strongly call on Plateau people to practically stand up and defend themselves and their communities, as the conventional security design is no longer guaranteeing our safety as a people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe commend the youths on the Plateau for sustained coordinated and organised campaigns against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/28\/jos-killings-plateau-assembly-gives-lalong-two-weeks-ultimatum-to-take-action\/\">killings<\/a> and as well the courage to make it go viral by sending strong messages to the world using the dead bodies from the mayhem on the social media and the streets of Jos; the display of the corpses in the House is a sign that they recognised the authority of the House of Assembly as an institution that can speak for the people. We greatly appreciate that action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an assembly with people at heart, we call on Plateau State citizens to have confidence in us with renewed commitment as we have given two weeks to the governor Simon Lalong to take action on the resolutions the House has forwarded on security matters and how to restore peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on the governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, to come up with a statement defending us as a people and to bring back renewed commitment to the cause of Plateau.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are still expecting with high hopes, the President to also come up with a statement about the killings in Yelwa Zangam just as he did in the killings of travellers along Rukuba road and to also indicate a sign of justice or we will see him as being reflexive about the conflict in Plateau.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plateau house of assembly has called on residents to stand up and defend themselves against killers in the state.
