Tarok Progressive Youth Association (TAPYA), the umbrella body of Tarok Youth Worldwide is sad to receive the recurring devastating news of unprovoked attacks on the peace loving people of Bokkos Local Government last week where communities were reduced to rumbles and families left grieving
We wish to condemn in totality this sustained plan to displace our people from their ancestral homes.
The National President of TAPYA, Amb Miri Timnan Nyantau (M.T.N) on behalf of himself and the entirety of Tarok Youths Worldwide extends our deepest condolences to the people of Bokkos, Governor and Government of Plateau State and the entire State.
The National President in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Comr C.C Dashe in Jos on Monday appreciated Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang and the Chief of Army Staff for promptly providing leadership and promising to increase more soldiers.
We call on the security agencies to sustain the tempo and flush out this perpetrators despite working in challenging circumstances. We applaud their doggedness but appeal that more should be done
The killers are warned not to take the hospitality and peaceful disposition of the people of Plateau for granted
The highest height of this celebrated madness that has strived as a result of our meekness and cooperation with the security agencies saw Bokkos holding yet another mass burial.
As if that was not enough, the perpetrators went on to attack our dear son, Arc Samuel Nanchang Jatau, the Secretary of the Government of the State who went to deliver relief materials to our affected brothers and sisters was equally attacked by this merchants of crisis
The attempt on the SGS by these terrorists tells the degree this act has been taken to which calls for more stringent actions by the security agencies and vigilance by the communities
We thank God Almighty for sparing our son and urge him never to be deterred especially in swift response to issues bothering on security
We wish to further appeal to the security agencies to intensify efforts to maintain peace and order and prevent break down of law where people might not fold their arms and watch while being slaughtered in their homes like chickens by these terrorists
Once more, we acknowledge the relentless efforts of the security agencies in safeguarding our people considering the challenges they face at all times. We urge the perpetrators to desist from their blood tasty trend
As an indivisible and a united people, an attack on Mangu, Bassa, Bokkos, Barkin Ladi or Riyom is an attack on all of us. We therefore share in Bokkos people moment of grief
“Enough is enough”. Nga pyal nabyet, nlevong yakat.
