The leader of Kwankwasiya movement and chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has condemned the barbaric killing of travelers from Basawa Zaria, by armed thugs in Plateau State.
The 2023 NNPP presidential candidate said the perpetrators must be fished out and prosecuted.
“I am saddened by the barbaric mob action on wedding-goers in Plateau State, which has resulted in the death of at least 12 travelers from Basawa community of Zaria local government area of Kaduna State.
“This attack in Mangu local government area of Plateau is another sad episode of peaceful travelers losing their lives in the hands of violent elements along transit routes.
“Authorities in Plateau State and the Federal Government must ensure that the perpetrators of this attack are fished out and prosecuted.
“Traditional, religious and government stakeholders must also prioritise orienting the people against such mob actions.
“My deepest sympathies go to the bereaved families,” Kwankwaso said in a post on his verified Facebook page.
