 Stability, the BEMR crisis will be vindicated state PDPCs as APC, Alia Field, Regisolo, Bola, Oba, and Peace, these plus politics. Plato killings, Tinumbu urges governments to ensure peace and stability. President Bola Tinumbu urges the federal and sub-national governments of Nigeria have the mutual responsibility of ensuring the country's peace and stability. Speaking during a meeting with the Nigeria Governors Forum and GF at its residence in Lagos on Tuesday, the president reiterated his condemnation of the latest killings in Plato state. Addressing the governors, the president issued a stand directed to security agencies to halt the carnage in Plato state and intensify the pursuit of those responsible for the recent tragic events in Boccos and blocking the local government areas. Condoling with the victims, President Tinumbu emphasized the sanctity of human life and called for a paradigm shift among those with contrary beliefs. Take a listen. And as you can see, we have to take care of it. We have to take care of it. And as you can see, we have to take care of it. Our environment has been a ruin to the economy. ధాక్ట్ షిలుియాచిన్ పరరి,నిక్చ్నంలికున పరిక్య్త్రాన్ట్ను కమాను కుత్టాక్యాక్నినుంట్ కారిక్మికలియ్ చారిక్చక్నినోలి పరి� Ὀ ὅ ὃ čos ʻ耶 ëot ʻize ʻa yʻawaя t'e tʷo ʻastigatʸ Ὁ ʰa tra ʻor rga ʻ是啊 ʻac controlling' ʻthenʻn ʻti kap bga ʻĻos ʻ families' better ʰan ʻti ʻwʰi cʉʏprʷ yʻr' Kay. ʰes fos muteʻi ʻipa ʻṬo ʻsteyile ar сразу gi ʻsawidi ʻten ʸti tap nī tʰas ʻi wʰ幻ilt ʰāwḥ turn ʻnʻi ʑpage cially unta ți  purposes  Меня  heels pta ți                                                                                                                                                                                                                I want to commiserate once again with the people of Plato state. The unfortunate incident on the Plato is indeed an indictment of all of us because it does seem like we are acting like lower animals. I wonder why lives of our people will be regularly cut short and we, with all the expertise that are at disposal and with all the resources that are at disposal, seem to be where we are now. Reverend Father, what would be your portraiture of the event thus far on the Plato? Thank you for having me and the opportunity given to be able to say a few words about what has happened in Plato. And actually it happened on the 24th as a Christmas if where about 25 villages were simultaneously and a lot of killings were made, houses were burned, properties were vandalized, etc. Initially we were just estimating the number of people that have died but we have almost who are there today with the Vice President Senator Kashem Shtima and the team security officers of the country the team of defense staff, the team of defense intelligence and the rest were there. And we are told that 148 people died and the number of people who have been hospitalized because of different injuries and the rest of them. It is all start so barbaric it was quite nice and it is terrible, it is terrible sight to see and at the time there are videos that are treated now that you could hear the full animal talking and you could hear, you could see how women and children in the aging women they can know for their daily life were killed and it was a sad day, a sad day in the sense that it was the first time that people have been celebrating the birth and the birth of another civilized Christ why is it that there is medical celebration it has to not be a day that brings sadness not the people of that committee alone but the entire state and in fact the country at large it is quite unfortunate that this is happening and that if you can look at it critically platuzia have been suffering for the past since 2001 and it has not come to, it has not come if not find a solution to it nobody has brought the book and nobody has been sent to the court of law but as I am doing it due to the same thing is happening same system of killing you know mind whether there are kids or children anybody that is a human being that is being found the mind will lose his life and when you talk about it you will talk about, it is not as young as this is the talk about a farmer, a harder crisis and at times resolution will come in maybe after a month if a car is being attacked or human being is being attacked the president will come after some months or some weeks where you thought everybody has come after a period people should live in peace but it is not that they don't accept it at all so it looks sad and we don't know if it is going to happen again and I think the the situation obviously matured first half and the security advisor to the president Bola Mekinubu and the reason were there and they made place that they are going to bring the perpetrator to court and I pray it will come to pass because you are so tired if you look at the in fact that is human to mankind it is terrible we come back to you we come back to you Reverend Father Mr. Makhre hello Mr. Makhre and with you we cannot have experts people with the kind of rich experiences and some experiences such as you and yet we are like functioning as though we are in southern Sudan what are we doing wrongly especially regarding not engaging those of you whose experience and whose knowledge can help to bring about this malady what are we doing wrongly I think one thing is that the security agencies are doing the best they could for those of us who are retired I believe strongly that inside the services they still have very very smart officers and men who have been handling this for a very long time but you see the problem we have is what many people don't want to address and that is this is an avoidable problem avoidable like the Reverend have said has been festering since 2001 and of course every year and it is always around the Christmas time intelligence reports have been given either to the military and police around this time for this particular situation even in particular this very attack there was intelligence report that was given about people to be very very careful but you see one thing is this the security agencies or even the military cannot address this particular issue or respond immediately to take care of the situation when they are not equipped enough to do it you know talking about equipment there are so many different ways so many different equipment special weapons and tactics that is supposed to be in the market place we are not buying it for the police and remember this is not even a military issue this is a police matter and we expect that the police should be equipped properly to deal with it but where are they you know how many policemen do you have in plateau state there are three modern just a little bit above 300,000 policemen in Nigeria out of 200 and something million Nigerians even the recommended United Nations figures is less than what we have here so these are the issues if we don't do that and get the policemen to every nooks and crannies you know it will continue even you know we will have chief of Naval staff vice president they will all come national security advisor they will make statements it will not happen again the president has already asked them to make sure this does not happen again but for the others that has happened before how many arrests have we got how many prosecutions have we got how many of these bandits that are foreigners have we sent out of the country these are the issues thank you very much we don't couch it I come back to you Reverend father the security expert also seems to be as disillusioned as you short of saying that the political class would naturally mouth the platitudes that they often mouth at about this time there may not be any dramatic changes are we going to continue like this as though the people on the plateau are living in southern Sudan where the gender weeds the gender weeds can just you know it's sad it's funny but very sad it is that's why I say it's like an age long problem having and particularly and yesterday I had to go and press to condemn the issue but how long will I stand to be condemning the issue verbally what we want is action what can be done this is like the security expert said these are things that it turns to be rhetoric people don't talk about it and that's the end then it comes down to it comes to the game nobody is arrested and you see the political class can do nothing particularly the military men until they give them an order before they carry on and like why did somebody came and told me when we were born living across today he said please follow if you can help, we don't need the military men we want the these other policemen they said they didn't mobile police preferably because like security men like the way they did 25 grade similarly at work so why would they get the security men to take over the whole place it can be very difficult they can do nothing as I am talking to you when we were in Bokoz around 1 pm today why the vice president was talking when the chairman of the local government came to welcome the vice president he told them the first thing he made was that as he is talking there are two villages on fire today are you saying today still yes because when we were there today around 1 pm when the vice president came with all the security men where the chairman of the local government was addressing the crowd he said as I am talking to you now there are two villages one I am sure the other one is tense there are other kids they are going on now super we ask ourselves I didn't particular moment I didn't know what action they took I am not a security expert when the people now when they say that I am the expert you see a rapid response where the security men will go and rescue the people but we are just don't understand it's like he got to a point I said would it be nice for me to say why can't they legalize arms and ammunition as soon as you can defend yourself since the situation the security men cannot go the security expert and let's get some of the ideas ideas from him every time I see you there is a tendency for me to want to call you doctor I don't know I don't know I don't know why I always want to call you a doctor or a PhD of that security but I know it will soon come it is saddening very saddening because without wanting to be sensational and without wanting to be very pedestrian in the way we couch it the perpetrators can easily be designed and the victims also can easily be designed and like really said earlier on to which we also have generalistic reports about that they had even written that they had earlier written to threaten that they were going to strike at about this time now with all these pieces of intelligence with all these pieces of one is wondering okay if the organized security agencies cannot help our people and the law is barring our people from carrying arms what can experts like you do to help enlighten our people to be able to to read the 30 signs and easily protect themselves thank you very much for that question thank you sir not the situation where we arm everybody I mean everybody does not solve the problem because in other countries like even in the united states here where everybody I can walk out of this house go down to the shop and buy a gun for myself you know it does not help because you find out that is a big major problem for the country here whereby people who have guns they just want to sometimes try it they go into a shopping mall and start shooting everybody or they go into a school and start shooting people we don't want to go into that and that's why we those who are trained to use it like the police the police have to be well trained and then of course with weapons they could be on standby and respond because these are the important factors well trained well armed and equipped and then of course very good response response within about 15 minutes is okay acceptable internationally but here when something happened like they said it happened around Christmas Eve and they didn't see any security agent until the next day around 7 am you know the military spokesman said it was about 45 minutes but all the same, 45 minutes is not good enough it's not good enough you know when you are responding to where lives and property are being lost it's not good enough so we want a situation where we train the police properly you say they want more poles are supposed to be crowd control policemen but right now what are they doing they are following rich people who are paying them privately and then of course remember when this present IG came he said that they are going to withdraw all of them if you remember very well you are right after that everybody forgot about it and they are still where they are because the Nigerian big man cannot step out of his house without more poles I don't know what he is scared about you know but it is very very important that we train our policemen to take care of the criminal environment that we are living and then everybody can have a breath of fresh air Mr. Makri please and I need your help still I am now concerned about we know that it does not air to allow everybody to carry firearms we know but having said that I am thinking if they were to be constrained to leave them because what are the courses I can take from experts like you say I am a pastor of a church or I am a community leader to at least sensitize my people and say you know what when you see things like this when you see things like this or when things are happening like this just find a way of quickly letting people know and you see this is how this is how you can hide to save yourself from and this is what you can I am thinking aloud now because I am so frustrated I don't know but to ask an expert like you sir Dr. Makri these solutions are very normal common place solutions security awareness is key to anything you know no matter how sophisticated the situation is if people are security aware they are aware about security they are aware about their situation what we call situation awareness then they can protect themselves one way or the other because when they know like you said now somebody wrote letter to the community telling them that they are coming now that information is very very important that information can be sent to the security agencies now the national security advisor is there he has visited if such information comes to him what happens there is a fusion center at the national security advisors office that is supposed to process that kind of information and when you are processing that kind of information what do you do that's why we are saying that the police should be well trained how many attack helicopters do we have in the police because we know that bokos and barking laddie are far from the areas far away even if you are living just to bokos it will take you some time the terrain is very bad and there are no major roads that you can follow so what stops us from sending two helicopter gun boats gun ships with well trained snipers inside to go down to that place within ten minutes of that thing happening this is what I am talking about thank you very much sir always a pleasure to listen to you engage with you Reverend father we have to come to you for a wrap up of this Reverend father what would you like to tell families friends of the victims on the one hand the people on the plateau on the other hand are many Nigerians ironically the first place I read about this there before yesterday was in the economics magazine indeed the people of the world who are now referring to Nigeria although they are referring Somalia Southern Sudan or indeed the southern region of Sudan where one particular tribe is killing mercilessly another tribe how would you want to sign off from from this program sir first of all I would like to call on the entire world to to pray for plateau we need prayers and then the other aspect you talk about is that those who have lost their lives and property that they should just be in the mind that they are not alone we are with them and that those who have lost their lives we pray that they will go and pray that they will turn around and those that are injured they are still in the hospital are lucky enough the governor was on his way to go to the hospital to see them he is going to find a way of helping them out by paying their bills and then consul the family that have lost their lives like now I was thinking about 25 villages that are ransacked and many were killed all of them were fertilized and burned and the rest of them we would like to call on meaningful and meaningful Nigerians if they have the capacity to help if you try help and we can look out for food I know unfortunately that even the harvested food they were bound up I did not know how they are going to survive even though the dam is available we have to go now sir we have to go we really have to go sorry about that sir time but I just hope and pray that President Bola Mertinumbu will not join the team of public officials చార్తోలోలువ౩చినివిక్త్విక్న్క్ఇకోికాడిక్నికరుంటిదాలూత్న్ . kapi blick � ږ ڔ ڵ ڡ ږ ڡ ڒ ڨ ڧ ڈ ĺ ڡ ږ ڨ ژ ښ ښ ڄ ږ ښ ږ ڜ ڡ ڝ ژ ښ ښ ڡ ښ ڡ ڕ ڈ ښ ڕ ڜ ښ ڡ
