Standup for Women Society (SWS) has sympathised with women in Plateau State on the incessant killing of innocent lives and unrest in the state.
Unknown assailants attacked the Yelwa Zangam community in Jos North Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State overnight Aug 24-25. Initial accounts report that up to 36 residents died. Locals have attributed the attack to Fulani bandits who reportedly set bodies and homes on fire.
The National President SWS, Barr. Deborah A. Ijadele-Adetona said the security situation in Plateau State has affected the lives and property of people especially women and children.
The President called for proactive measures to be put in place by the state government, security agencies and other stakeholders to curtail the present ugly situation.
She further said there is a need to promote peace and peaceful coexistence for sustainable development of the state.
SWS wishes to extend its condolence and commiserates with the Government and people of Plateau State.
