In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Umar Muhammad Puma, the Deputy Speaker charged the security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are arrested and brought to book.
Hon Wase expressed grief over the casualties suffered in the attacks and prayed to God to give the families of the victims the fortitude to bear the painful loss.
He said: “It is with heavy heart that I join other well-meaning Nigerians in condemning this dastardly act coming just at a time when farmers are preparing their farmlands for the forthcoming farming season.

“I call on security agencies in the state to spare nothing in ensuring that justice prevails for the victims and the people of Plateau State.”
Hon. Wase also asked the security agencies to put measures in place to ensure that such avoidable deaths and attacks are brought to an end while extending his sincere condolences to the people and government of Plateau State.
