Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau has condemned the murder of  Ardo Adamu Gabdo, the Fulani leader of Panyam District in Mangu Local Government Area (LGA) of the state, who yet-to-be identified persons killed.

Mr Mutfwang condemned the act in a statement by his media aide, Gyang Bere, on Saturday in Jos.

Mr Gabdo was declared missing by security agencies on September 24.

But his dead body was later recovered on Thursday, October 5, by troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) at Boi, a border community between Plateau and Bauchi state.

Maj.-Gen. Abdusalam Abubakar, the commander of OPSH, recently told stakeholders from Mangu at a meeting that it had arrested three suspects in connection with the crime.

The governor, who condoled with the immediate family of the ardo over the huge loss, promised to support security agencies to fish out those behind the crime.

He urged community leaders and traditional rulers to support the government and security agencies’ collective efforts toward a crime-free Plateau.

”We are committed to upholding the rule of law in addressing all forms of criminal activities in the state,” the governor said.

Mr Mutfwang promised to be fair and just to all citizens, irrespective of tribe or religious background.

The governor further reiterated his determination to introduce policies and programmes that would foster sustainable peace, progress and prosperity.
