The president used a town hall in Jos to console bereaved families and outline fresh surveillance measures after the latest Plateau killings.
President Bola Tinubu has met affected families in Plateau and pledged new security steps after the Anguwan Rukuba attack deepened concern over recurring violence in the state.
Official Security Response
President Bola Tinubu met relatives of victims of the Anguwan Rukuba attack during a town hall session at Yakubu Gowon Airport in Heipang, offering condolences and promising a stronger security response to the violence in Plateau State.
Daily Trust reported that the president addressed grieving families alongside Governor Caleb Mutfwang, the Gbong Gwom Jos, former governors Jonah Jang and Simon Lalong, senior party figures and other religious and community leaders. The gathering underscored the political and emotional weight the killings now carry in Plateau.
Ceasefire and Diplomacy
Tinubu said measures would be put in place to stop a repeat of the attack and announced a plan to deploy more than 5,000 cameras across the state to support security agencies in tracking perpetrators and improving surveillance.
The visit came after renewed outrage over the latest killings, with the president referring to 28 deaths in the attack even as other earlier official accounts had put the immediate confirmed toll lower. That gap has kept public attention fixed on both accountability and the true scale of the bloodshed.
For Plateau residents, the meeting was more than a condolence call. It was also a test of whether federal assurances would translate into visible protection for communities that have repeatedly faced deadly cycles of violence.
