” The Berom Youth Moulders-Association, BYM under the leadership of Solomon Dalyop Mwantiri, Esq. is unreservedly condemning the recent killings in some parts of Plateau State, and in the same vein, calling on all security outfits, particularly the Operation Safe Haven-OPSH under the able and patriotic command of Maj. Gen. A. E Abdulsallam, who doubles as the GOC 3rd Armoured Division to redouble up efforts in combating resurgence of acts of terrorism, and flushing out the terrorist elements that are said to have been stationed in the hills of Were in Ropp of Barkin Ladi LGA and some parts of Plateau.” the release noted.

” The BYM sympathizes with families that lost their beloved ones in the recent unprovocative attacks and appeals to members of the public to be more vigilant before, during and after the festive season.
” The BYM equally appeals for calmness, and calls on both Federal, State and Local Government as well as other relevant bodies to come to the aids (hospital bills) of the deceased’s family and those injured so as to ameliorate the unwarranted plights they have been plunged into by the inhuman act and to ensure restorative justice is served.” said the release.
