Adebayo condemns Plateau killings and demands urgent action

Prince Adewole Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party’s (SDP) 2027 presidential candidate, condemned killings in Plateau State and elsewhere in Nigeria, saying hundreds of people had reportedly been killed between January and October 2026. He urged Governor Caleb Mutfwang and the federal government to act urgently to protect communities, and criticised the governor for addressing traumatised residents from an armoured personnel carrier. Adebayo also accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of mishandling insecurity and called for stronger security institutions, restored government control of affected territories, and action on the socioeconomic factors behind crime.
