President Bola Tinubu has sympathised with residents of Jos and the families affected by Sunday’s deadly attack in Plateau State, which claimed at least 28 lives and left 22 others injured, assuring them that such a tragedy would not happen again.
The President gave the assurance during his visit to Jos on Thursday, where he met with government officials, traditional rulers, and families of the victims.
Addressing those affected, Tinubu expressed deep sorrow over the incident and promised government support for the victims and their families.
“To the victims, there is nothing I can give you, whether in billions of naira, but I can console you and promise that this experience will not repeat itself,” the President said.
Speaking directly to the grieving mother seen in a viral video holding the body of her son after the attack, Tinubu acknowledged her pain and loss.
“I know your pain; I saw in the video how you held on to your son and felt the agony in your heart. Only God can give you joy and comfort. No amount of money can compensate for your loss. As a government, we will do our best to support and comfort you,” he stated.
The President further stressed the need to restore peace and stability in Jos, noting that the city must return to the calm and unity it was once known for.
He said the long-term solution lies in rebuilding trust, strengthening security, and restoring Jos to the city many residents grew up knowing and remembering.
