Tinubu, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday, ordered intelligence chiefs, the police, and the military to direct security operations to end the killings in the North-Central state.
Describing the killings and bloodletting as inhuman and anti-progress, the president also called on political leaders and community leaders in conflict areas to stop fuelling the crisis through unguarded utterances and statements that could further inflame tensions.
