The victims, reportedly returning from a wedding ceremony, were ambushed and killed while travelling from Zaria in Kaduna State to Jos, Plateau State. Among the dead were the father and brother of the groom.
In a statement issued Sunday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu directed the Nigerian Police Force to collaborate with other security and intelligence agencies to ensure the immediate arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators.
“President Tinubu directs the Nigerian Police Force to work with other security and intelligence agencies to ensure those responsible for the attack are held accountable,” the statement read.
The President also called on the Plateau State Government to take decisive steps in tackling the persistent cycle of violence in the region.
