For true reconciliation to happen in Plateau North, those occupying land forcefully must vacate – San. Gyang
He equally said, “if you are occupying someone’s land or property that does not belong to you during the unrest that have happened in this place, you have to give it back”.
The recent major attack was in June 2018, where over 200 persons were killed, over 30, 000 persons displaced and property destroyed in Barkin Ladi and Riyom LGAs. Gyang stated this while addressing journalists after touring the six LGAs that makeup his senatorial district, saying he will support any policy that will secure and guarantee the safety of lives and property of the citizenry at the grassroot.
According to him, “Whatever will secure our citizens and guarantee the safety of lives and property at the grassroot, I stand for it. “But we have seen a situation, where African dictators have even after long tenures, had to face criminal charges and even conviction by the International Criminal Court of Justice”, he explained.
