Plateau Gov. Muftwang Pledges No Tolerance for Criminality, Calls for Peace
Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has made it clear that his administration will not tolerate any form of criminal activity in the state, regardless of the perpetrators’ religion or tribe. He emphasized that anyone attempting to disrupt the peace of the state would face the full consequences of the law.
The Governor issued this stern warning while inspecting the Mobile Police Training Centre in Gashish District, Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area, as well as the proposed site for a Mobile Police Barracks in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area.
While addressing the situation, Governor Mutfwang stressed the need for an end to hostilities, calling on individuals or groups involved in instigating trouble to cease immediately. He assured the residents that his government would take all necessary steps to eliminate criminality and restore peace throughout the state.
“I see both Berom and Fulani people here, along with other tribes who have made this community home. Let me be clear: the days of conflict are over. We will not tolerate any criminal activity, regardless of religion or tribe. Criminality is criminality, and those who profit from disrupting our peace will face the full wrath of the law,” Governor Mutfwang stated.
The governor also promised continued support for farmers who have been affected by insecurity, ensuring that displaced communities would be able to return to their farms. He pledged that all arable land in the state would be fully cultivated in the next farming season to boost food production and economic activity.
Governor Mutfwang lauded Plateau residents for their peaceful celebration of Christmas and called on traditional rulers, community leaders, and the Fulani to collaborate in maintaining peace within their localities.
“We must continue on this path of peace. If conflicts arise, let us resolve them amicably as we have done in the past. No one should take the law into their hands. With the establishment of this security outfit and the deployment of personnel, troublemakers will find no room to operate,” the governor emphasized.
Additionally, during his visit to Kwall, Governor Mutfwang announced plans to establish a Mobile Police Barracks in the area, which will help improve security across the region and act as a security hub.
