The Riyom Youth Council (RYC) of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Plateau State, has strongly condemned the recent attacks in Rim, Jol, Bachit, Fan, Nding, and parts of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, leading to the loss of innocent lives and destruction of property.
RYC also condemned the senseless killings of innocent citizens, describing the actions as barbaric, painful, inhuman, and unacceptable.
According to them, it is a great setback capable of threatening the peaceful coexistence that the people have laboured hard to sustain over the years.
The chairman of the group, Pam Nuhu Daniel, and Secretary, Patience Chaimang, made their position known while addressing newsmen in Jos the Plateau state capital, urging the youths in Riyom LGA not to take the law into their hands or allow themselves to be used by enemies of peace to cause further violence.
“We must remain law-abiding and continue to work together for peace, unity, and stability. We also call on security agencies to intensify efforts toward arresting the perpetrators of these heinous acts and ensuring that justice is served,” it stated.
Commenting on the 2027 elections, they appealed to all political aspirants and actors to place the overall interest of the constituency above personal ambition and respect the zoning understanding already established by the elders in the area.
