Gov. Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has condemned the murder of Ardo Adamu Gabdo, the Fulani leader of Panyam District in Mangu Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
The Fulani leader was killed by yet-to-be identified persons.
Mutfwang condemned the killing in a statement by his Director of Press and Public Affairs (DOPPA), Mr Gyang Bere, issued on Saturday in Jos.
Maj.-Gen. Abdusalam Abubakar, the Commander of Operation Safe Haven, OPSH, recently told stakeholders from Mangu at a meeting that it had arrested three suspects in connection with the crime.
However, in the statement released on Wednesday, the governor, who condoled with the immediate family of the Ardo, promised to support security agencies to fish out those behind the crime.
He urged community leaders and traditional rulers at all levels to support government and security agencies in their collective efforts to actualise a crime free Plateau.
”While we commend the efforts of OPSH for recovering the body of the murdered ardo, we want to appeal to all residents of our state to be law abiding.
”All criminal acts should be reported to security agencies for swift action.
”We are committed to upholding the rule of law in addressing all forms of criminal activities in the state,” the governor said.
Mutfwang also promised to be fair and just to all citizens, irrespective of tribe or religious background.
