Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has pledged to bring to justice those responsible for the killing of 30 people in the central Nigerian city of Jos last Sunday.
Speaking during a meeting with relatives of the victims, Tinubu assured families that his government would do everything possible to prevent a recurrence of such violence.
He has since directed the country’s security chiefs to track down those behind the attack. Following his visit, authorities announced plans to deploy more than 5 000 AI-enabled cameras to support law enforcement efforts in the state.
He has also approved the recruitment of 1 000 forest guards to strengthen local security, while the military says additional troops will be deployed to protect residents and restore order.
Plateau State has a long history of violence, often linked to ethnic and religious tensions, as well as disputes between farmers and herders.
