The Association of Ex Local Government Chairmen of Nigeria (ASELGON) has condemned incessant killings in Plateau and Benue States where many families have been unexpectedly thrown into sorrow and mourning.
This was contained in a statement made available to Tribune Online by the Association’s media Consultant, Oladele Ogunsola who conveyed heartfelt condolences through its national president, Honourable Albert Asipa, to the governors of the two states and the bereaved families.

Describing the assailants as heartless and blood- thirsty felons, the Association felt grieved that “As much as the Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is trying to ensure that this country progresses and moves forward, it is as if some agents of darkness are lurking somewhere, thwarting the noble efforts”.
The Association is however convinced that “No matter how hard the agents of darkness try, they won’t succeed because darkness cannot overcome light as we urge all the security agents to remain committed and resolute in the pursuit of peace and security, not only in Benue and Plateau States, but in the entire country.”
