Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State and chieftain of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC), has described as barbaric the attack on the Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba, Jos, Plateau State, which claimed the lives of no fewer than 27 and left many others injured.

Kwankwaso, who spoke via his verified social media page on Tuesday, said, “The killings are yet another tragic and shameful chapter in our nation’s history.

“This senseless bloodshed represents the continuing failure of leadership and the deepening culture of impunity that has turned parts of our country into killing fields.

He said the recurring violence in Plateau State, and indeed across several parts of Nigeria, can no longer be treated as business as usual. It demands to be treated as the national emergency that it was declared to be by the Federal and State Governments.

“Our people deserve the right to live in peace, security, and dignity, regardless of their ethnicity or faith.”

He expressed his heartfelt condolences and prayers to the families of the victims, the injured, and the entire Gari Ya Waye community in this moment of profound grief.
