President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed security chiefs and the Minister of Defence to intensify efforts to track down those responsible for the recent killings in Jos, ordering immediate measures to strengthen security across Plateau State.
The directive was issued on Thursday during a town hall meeting with stakeholders in Jos, following deadly attacks that claimed more than 28 lives in Angwan Rukuba on Palm Sunday.
Tinubu also announced that the Federal Government would deploy 5,000 Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras across Plateau State to improve intelligence gathering, surveillance, and rapid response to security threats.
The President, who visited the state to sympathise with residents over the attacks, condemned the killings, stating that he was elected to protect lives and not to create widows and widowers.

Earlier, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang welcomed the President and described the incident as a temporary setback, noting that the state had recently experienced relative peace and increased investment before the attack.
Mutfwang expressed confidence that with federal support and coordinated security action, the state would overcome the current challenge.
He also commended security agencies for preventing several attacks that often go unreported and disclosed that a State Security Council meeting had been convened to take decisive actions.
Former Plateau State Governor Jonah David Jang called for a follow-up meeting with the President in Abuja to discuss long-term solutions to the persistent security crisis.
