A Lawmaker, Solomon Maren, representing Mangu/Bokkos Federal Constituency in Plateau State has condemned the incessant terrorists attacks in his constituency.
Maren urged the constituents to remain calm and not to take law into their hands.
The lawmaker said in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, that more than 100 persons, mostly women and children, were massacred and butchered in cold blood by terrorists.
He said it happened during an overnight unprovoked attack at their houses, which were burnt down alongside food stuffs, food barns and seedlings.
“I find it expedient at this time to intimate the world on the unfortunate happenings in my constituency, in the last two days, where over 100 persons were attacked,” he said.
Maren described the killings as one too many in the constituency, saying “over 200 persons were killed in the last four months before the recent one.”
He said the government might claim to be doing its best, urging it to do its very best to avert further attack on the people of the area.
The lawmaker commended some gallant officers who were working without sufficient arms, yet volunteered themselves to save lives.
He urged President Muhammadu Buhari to order security agencies to move into the area with immediate effect, to curb the killings.
Maren also appealed the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) and other well spirited organisations to also move in with relief materials for the wounded survivors of the dastard attacks.
