The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has condemned the recent killing of scores of residents in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, describing the incident as senseless and unacceptable.
The youth group also called on the federal government to provide adequate compensation for families of the victims and survivors of the attacks.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the President-General of AYCF, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, said the tragic incident reflected the worsening state of insecurity across the country.
“This act of senseless violence has left numerous lives lost and entire communities devastated. It is not only a violation of human rights but also a reminder of the growing insecurity in parts of our country,” the statement said.
Shettima urged the government to take immediate and decisive action to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent further bloodshed.
He extended the forum’s condolences to the affected families and communities, noting that the trauma and pain caused by such incidents cannot be overstated.
“The perpetrators of these heinous acts must be brought to book. The government must show compassion and responsibility by supporting the survivors through medical aid, psychological support, and financial compensation,” the AYCF leader said.
He called on the federal government to establish a special victims’ support fund for those affected by the Plateau attack and similar incidents elsewhere in the country.
“This is not just a call for justice. It is a call for compassion, accountability, and a collective commitment to end these atrocities,” he said.
The AYCF also commiserated with the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, and the people of the state over what it described as another round of senseless bloodshed.
Shettima reaffirmed the group’s solidarity with the people of Plateau and urged all stakeholders to prioritise the safety and dignity of Nigerians, regardless of their location or background.
