The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed outright dismay over the reported communal skirmishes between some communities in Langtang -North and Mikang local government areas of Plateau State.
The party in a statement in Jos, noted that it is rather sad that people who had been living together for decades could resort to violence at the slightest misunderstanding.
According to the party, it is unfortunate and disheartening that the situation escalated to loss of lives and property which ordinarily could have been avoided.
The statement added that it is painful and retrogressive that the two local government areas which hitherto witnessed relative peace and existed harmoniously could now be living at daggers drawn.
The APC noted that resorting to violence or self-help, is not always the solution to solving problems but rather amicable settlement.
The statement enjoined the warring parties in the dispute, to sheath swords and allow good reasoning to prevail for the immediate resolution of the dispute.
The APC commended the security agencies and the traditional rulers in the areas, for rising to the occasion and expressed the hope that such ugly situation would not reoccur.
The party sympathised with the families who were affected, as well as those that lost their loved ones and property in the crisis.
