He described the lynching of the Kaduna state indigenes travelling for a wedding in Plateau State as utterly barbaric, and said he has been in touch with Plateau Governor Caleb Mutfwang and President Bola Tinubu to ensure that all those involved in the attack are brought to justice.

He commended residents of the state for remaining peaceful in the face of the provocation, and urged local leaders in Plateau to stop attacking travellers, which is becoming the norm in the state.
