PLHA SPEAKER CONDEMNS MURDER OF NAMANG, PLATEAU APC SPOKESPERSON.

The Speaker, Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Gabriel K. Dewan received with rude shock the recent killing of our brother, the Plateau State Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Hon. Sylvanus Namang in Pankshin on the 18th of February 2024 at a shop and the shop owner Mr Sunday Okonko (Sunny-Best) a peace-loving Igbo businessman within the neighbourhood of the unfortunate event. He prayed for their souls and those of others faithfully departed to rest in peace with the Lord, Amen.

The deceased Mr Namang was a gentleman and a hardworking person who had served the State and Nigeria meritoriously in both public and private capacities.

The Speaker, on behalf of the Honourable Members and staff of the Plateau State House of Assembly wish to condole the deceased family, Mwaghavul nation, All Progressive Congress and the entire people of Plateau State on this great loss.

While praying for the repose of their souls to find rest with the Lord, the Rt. Hon. Speaker appeals to the general public to refrain from actions or political utterances that may mislead law enforcement agencies from carrying out their investigative endeavours to bring the culprit to face the full wrath of the law.

The Rt. Hon. Speaker assures Plateau citizens that the Legislators and the Executive are partnering together to end the repeat of such barbaric, inhumane and dastardly acts in the State and to bring the perpetrators to book.

The Speaker emphasised that Plateau State citizens should remain law abiding and report any move capable of truncating the peace in the State to security agencies cautioning the need for everyone to be vigilant.

Signed:

Rt. Hon Gabriel K. Dewan

Speaker, Plateau State House of Assembly.

19th February, 2024.

By Justin Jattim A non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment, education, and economic upliftment of vulnerable women and youth impacted by banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency in Nigeria, the Scarlet Cord Initiative, has extended its work to Gumel in Kachia, southern Kaduna. There, it held a two-day holistic empowerment programme for about 100 traumatized women. The programme included skills training, mentorship, trauma psycho-support, and advocacy. The event, which took place in a vibrant hall in Gora, began with a simple ball of yarn passed from hand to hand, weaving a visible web of connection among the 100 selected widows. These women shared the experience of losing their husbands to violent attacks. This was not a craft lesson, but the opening act of a profound tra...

THE MALIGN AND SENSELESS ATTACK ON SENATOR TIMOTHY ADUDU WITH THE SOLE AIM OF DISCREDITING HIM FOR SINISTER AGENDA PRESS RELEASE With the current political development in Plateau State in relation to the tremendous political appointments granted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lots of our citizens and with some on their way coming, a group of people who felt threatened by achievements of others have embarked on sponsorship of maligners to carry out their nefarious agenda against the achievers to secure political edge and relevance.
