President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday assured residents of Plateau State that the recent wave of killings in the state capital would not recur, as he visited Jos to commiserate with victims of the Palm Sunday attack in the Angwan Rukuba community. “This will not repeat itself,” Mr Tinubu said while addressing community leaders and residents, acknowledging the pain and loss suffered in the attack that left 28 people dead and many injured.The president’s visit comes days after the incident, described as a coordinated evening assault. The incident has triggered a series of violent reprisals, tension across nearby communities, and heightened security concerns in the state. Mr Tinubu said no amount of money could compensate for the loss of lives, but pledged that the federal government would support victims and ensure justice. “No amount of money can bring back the dead, but we will do our best to comfort you and walk with you,” he said. He added that security agencies had been directed to go after the perpetrators, noting that top security officials were already on the ground.
