The blood of innocent victims killed in Jos, Plateau State, on Palm Sunday is calling for justice, according to All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda. He condemned the attacks in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area, describing them as inhuman, cowardly, and unacceptable. Yilwatda praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's visit to the state, calling it a demonstration of leadership and national unity amid grief. In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, Yilwatda said the recurring violence points to criminal elements operating within communities, not supernatural forces. He urged local leaders to report suspicious activities and stressed that silence and fear must no longer shield perpetrators. The APC chairman called on security agencies to abandon outdated methods and adopt modern tools such as AI-powered cameras, drones, and real-time intelligence systems. He emphasized that peace in Plateau is essential for economic growth, noting the state's tourism potential is being undermined by persistent insecurity. Yilwatda insisted that those responsible must face full consequences under the law.
Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda's call for high-tech security solutions exposes a fundamental gap: if the state cannot identify killers operating locally, then deploying AI and drones risks becoming spectacle over substance. His assertion that criminals are not ghosts but residents implies intelligence failures that technology alone cannot fix. For Nigerians in Plateau, this means more surveillance may come without accountability, while the real work of community trust and policing remains neglected. A visit from the president and strong words from the APC chair do not alter the fact that promises have outnumbered results for years.
