Nigeria: Plateau Killings Won't Happen Again - Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised that measures will be put in place to make sure that the killings that took place in Jos, the Plateau State capital, last weekend, do not recur.

The President also promised that over 5, 000 cameras will be installed to assist the security agencies to apprehend the perpetrators of heinous crime.

Addressing residents of Plateau during his visit, President Tinubu said there is nothing he could give them, but only to "console you and promise you that this experience will not repeat itself."

"We will try our best to comfort you, to work with you. The best solution is for Jos to be just. The world that people like us grew up to know."

He went further to say that the Minister for Communication is going "to install immediately. A network of camera. That will help the law enforcement agencies. To identify the troublemakers instantly. Over 5,000. We will do a network. But as soon you can."

The President thanked the men and women of the armed forces for their efforts, "Particularly the police. For what they are doing and what they are about to do. You must unearth and find the killers. I'm glad IGP is here. I'm glad COAS is here too. Chief of Army Staff. I'm glad the Minister of Defence is here. Our dear leaders. I've been to Jos. I've enjoyed jos. In those days of peace. We've had our political activities here."
