A group, Initiative for Better and Brighter Nigeria (IBBN) on Saturday organised a special prayer session against the rising security challenges currently confronting Plateau and other parts of Nigeria.
Members of the group, who appeared on black clothes, walked from the old airport junction and converged at the popular secretariat junction for the prayer.
Speaking at the event, converner of the group, Prophet Isa El-buba, condemned the Chrismas eve attacks that claimed hundred of lives, left many injured and destroyed properties worth millions in the state.
El-buba, who decried the spate of killings and wanton destruction of properties in the state, said the prayers aimed at seeking God’s intervention against the menace.
”We are here to pray against the mindless killing of innocent citizens of Plateau; to seek God’s intervention against the menace.
”We are also using this medium to call on the Federal Government to end these killings and ensure justice for the victims.
”So, we are also appealing to the federal government to do what is right by ensuring those behind these killings are apprehended and made to face the law.
”We want to see action from government and security agencies. These killings persist because there is no deterrents,”he said.
El-buba, however, thanked President Bola Tinubu for directing the security agencies to address all forms of insecurity in the state.
He also commended the the state government for the proactive step taken, adding that the declaration of days of mourning for those killed was also commendable.
The convener, however, called on the state government to ban the prouduction and consumption of goskolo and regulate that other alcoholic contents in the state.
