The Plateau State Government has condemned the attack on Chikam, a community neighbouring the Plateau State University in Bokkos Local Government Area where three persons including a student of the school were killed.
According to the Plateau State Commissioner for Information and Communication Musa Ashoms, the killing which prompted protests by students, was saddening.
Musa expressed deep sorrow over the incident, emphasising the distressing reality that individuals can lose their lives even in their sleep. Ashoms highlighted the importance of swift action by security agencies, urging them to intensify efforts in apprehending and prosecuting those responsible for such heinous acts.
The students of Plateau State University in Bokkos went on a protest following the death of the 200-level Computer Science student of the institution who was residing in Chikam, but it took the intervention of security operatives to stop the protest.
In the aftermath of the attack, the school’s management declared a two-day mourning and suspended all examinations scheduled for the period.
