Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) nominee for president in 2023, has denounced recent attacks on a number of communities in Plateau State’s Mangu Local Government Area.

There have reportedly been 200 fatalities in the past three days in the local council, according to a member of the House of Representatives named Solomon Marren.

On Thursday night, Obi released a message on his verified Twitter account in which he expressed sorrow over the reports of the killings in the region, which included women and children.

However, the former governor of Anambra encouraged the government and security forces to rise to the challenge of stopping the dreadful slide towards chaos.

Obi also urged the security services to step up their efforts to combat this monster of insecurity in order to prevent a scenario in which the entire country would eventually become uninhabitable.

The statement reads: “The different reports of violent and criminal acts across the country have remained a source of serious worry to Nigerians. The reports of violent attacks by gunmen in the Mangu council area of Plateau State, where many lives, including women and children, have been lost come with grave concern.

Plateau Killings: CAN Urge Nigerians To Protect Themselves

“These incessant acts of killing, kidnapping, maiming, and other acts of terrorism must be condemned by every Nigerian. I most sincerely urge the security agencies and the government to rise to the occasion of arrest this frightening gradual descent into anarchy.

“Human lives must be treated with every sacredness it deserves, and no Nigerian deserves to die in such a mindless manner. I respectfully appeal to the security agencies to do more in their efforts in tackling this monster of insecurity to avoid a situation where the entire nation may be uninhabitable with time.

“In the long run, building Nigeria’s economy and productively engaging our youthful populace, will tear down the walls of ethnic and religious division among us, and reduce the level of insecurity. My heart is heavy with pain while thinking of all the victims, including the dead, the injured and those displaced from their homes. My condolences go to the families and the people of Plateau State.
