The Executive Chairman of Bokkos Local Government Council, Hon. Amalau Samuel Amalau, on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, welcomed Deputy Governor Ngo Josephine Piyo and escorted her to Kawel Community in Mushere Chiefdom to sympathize with the residents over the grim, unprovoked, and nefarious attack by heartless and Luciferic terrorists, on Sunday, June 21, 2026, which resulted in the death of more than twenty innocent people and left the community in deep mourning.

Hon. Amalau expressed gratitude to the Deputy Governor for standing with the bereaved families, Kawel Community, Mushere Chiefdom, and all residents of Bokkos LGA during this tragic time.

In his statement, the Executive Chairman detailed the tragic events surrounding the attack, describing how innocent residents, including patients and a health worker at a Primary Health Care facility, were brutally killed.

Hon. Amalau mourned the loss of lives, the destruction of hope for an unborn child whose mother was in labor when the attack occurred, and the community’s loss of essential healthcare services due to the killing of the health worker.

He urged the residents of Mushere Chiefdom to stay peaceful, law-abiding, and united despite their grief. He advised the youth to avoid taking revenge or acting on suspicion, urging them instead to cooperate with security agencies by providing helpful information to help apprehend and prosecute the suspects.

The Executive Chairman reminded everyone of Romans 12:19, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord,” encouraging trust in God and lawful authorities to achieve justice.

Representing the Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, Deputy Governor Ngo Josephine Piyo described the attack as tragic, unfortunate, and unjustifiable. She assured the grieving community that the government remains committed to supporting the affected families and ensuring those responsible face justice.

She further urged the people to keep hope alive, emphasizing that God is their refuge and strength during difficult times. She prayed for divine comfort for the bereaved families and reaffirmed the solidarity of the Plateau State Government with Kawel Community, Mushere Chiefdom, and the entire Bokkos LGA over the loss of lives and property caused by the barbaric attack.
