President Bola Tinubu has invited the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, to Abuja for high-level talks following the recent attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this at a press briefing held on Tuesday in Abuja.
Idris conveyed condolences on behalf of the President and the Federal Government to the victims and their families.
He stressed that swift and decisive measures are being taken to address the attack.
“Let me assure Nigerians that security agencies responded immediately to the incident. Troops under Operation Enduring Peace were rapidly mobilised to the scene following distress calls.
“The military and other security agencies cordoned off the affected area, secured key access routes, and launched targeted search-and-clearance operations to track down the perpetrators.
“These swift actions ensured that the situation was quickly contained and prevented further escalation,” Idris said.
He explained that these actions form part of a broader federal strategy to maintain stability across Plateau State and the North-Central region.
“The Nigerian Armed Forces have continued to carry out clearance operations and intelligence-led missions across vulnerable communities following attacks recorded in recent months.
“Reinforced surveillance and troop deployments have also been implemented in high-risk areas, supported by joint military-police patrols and strengthened rapid response mechanisms.
“These coordinated efforts are designed to neutralise threats proactively and maintain stability,” the minister added.
Highlighting the President’s proactive engagement, Idris revealed that Tinubu convened a meeting with top security and intelligence officials to assess the situation.
“A few hours ago, President Bola Tinubu held a high-level meeting with the nation’s top security and intelligence chiefs to review the situation and take further decisive steps towards arriving at a lasting solution.
“Following this meeting, the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has been invited by President Tinubu to further deliberate and chart a coordinated path towards lasting peace and security.
