Light at the end of the tunnel as senator Jerry Useni of the pdp declares forgiveness to all

Hours after a family reunion and hosting of Representative Beni Lar a former House of Representatives member from Langtang North and South Federal Constituency Senator Useni recently declared forgiveness for all his arch rivals in the Plateau political tuff.
Useni who hosted Lar who held sway in the House of Reps for about 17 years, was in a family reunion with other seniors from his zone like Mrs Domkat Bali and Prof Lar, the widow of late Solomon Lar in his Abuja residence
Sen Jeremiah Useni stressed in the meeting that he has forgiven all those who misunderstood the several steps taken by him to position the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to achieve unity within the Plateau State chapter.
He noted that in his magnanimity as an elder statesman, who carries a Father Figure and as a Christian, to err is human and to forgive is divine so what ever has been forgiven stays so.
Sen Useni regretted that the legal crises within the PDP which created factions was triggered by the postures and dispositions of some personalities within the party who never towed the path of unity and peace.
He maintained during the reunion meeting that despite the visits by several leaders to his residence, the party seems adamant in toying with genuine reconciliations.
“At some crucial points it became too handicap to push our followers to down tools considering the high levels of unabated targeted maltreatment and blackmail we were receiving.
” And this was why they started to question their right to political self defense amidst glaring provocative postures, suspensions and other meted harsh treatments against them.”
He hinted that his discussions with Beni Lar and family was a family reunion dating back to decades of a long standing relationship, history and ancestry with little or no political attachments.
The long standing factions in the plateau PDP between Sen Jerry Useni and Baba Jonah Jang as caused the party a lot of losses in the national assembly as a generation of Representatives were asked to vacate their seat by the appeal Court recently.
A fresh election was called especially in the northern senatorial zone and PDP was not on the ballot paper.
This new forgiveness may be the beginning of real reconciliation between the two heavy weights of Plateau politics.

Bandits Dump Corpses in Revenge Attack in Tafoki Village, Katsina
By: Zagazola Makama
A group of suspected bandits have launched a brutal revenge attack on Tafoki village in the Fasakari Local Government Area of Katsina State, dumping several corpses at the entrance to the community.
Local sources told Zagazola Makama that the assailants, believed to be mostly in their 20s, arrived in the village on April 9, 2025, and positioned the bodies at the entrance. This attack is reportedly in retaliation for the deaths of three bandits killed by villagers in February 2025, after the criminals attempted to launch an assault on the village.
Among the slain bandits was Goje, a notorious leader who led the failed attack. Sources suggest that the bandits have since been abducting villagers, tying their hands behind their backs, and executing them with gunshots to the head. Afterward, the bandits return the bodies and dispose of them at the village entrance.
As families mourn, they are left to recover the decomposing remains of their loved ones, with some corpses already starting to decompose.
Villagers are left devastated, grappling with the trauma of the violence and the realization that their attempts to defend themselves against the bandits’ previous assault have now turned into deadly retribution.
