It was a moment of sadness as Members of the Plateau State Caucus at the National Assembly joined Governor Simon Lalong to inspect destroyed and looted properties in Jos and Bukuru following the activities of hoodlums in the past few days.
The Governor and legislators who visited the JIB complex, Residential premises of Former Speaker Yakubu Dogara, SEMA, NEMA, PRUWASSA, and Plateau Road Maintenance Agency which were all looted described the scenes as horrifying and disappointing.
They said such action has taken Plateau State back and increased the burden of infrastructure deficit which will make development difficult.
They asked host communities to stand up and defend public and private properties in their domains so as to encourage development and progress.
