"The late Jos East ADP Chairman was assassinated by wicked Daredevil's that pumps 16 bullets into his body. The villagers heard gunshots but because of reverberation they couldn't come to rescue the victim

The ADP Plateau State totally condemn this heinous crime against humanity and call on the Plateau state Government and the Operation Save Haven to swing into action by apprehending the culprits using all security agencies as soon as possible

We will not accept anything short of arresting those behind the killing of our quiet and unassuming LGA Chairman. We demand for fortified security protection to all ADP leaders in the country as the APC see us as a threat

It is very unfortunate that while the APC Government describes itself as restoring peace in Plateau, we are witnessing political assassination and the killing of farmers by Fulani Herdsmen in the land. This is one killing too many and it must stop forthwith

The ADP Plateau state strongly believes that no blood of a Nigerian should be shed for any Political consideration or position because power comes from God and not man. The killing of an innocent soul is not a guarantee for winning elections

We send our deepest condolences to the Wife, Children, Family, the members of the ADP and indeed the entire peace loving people of the Izere nation over the untimely demise of an astute, viable, amiable, focused, purposeful and powerful politician in Jos East LGA in particular and the state at large. We shall miss his advice and doggedness.
Adieu Mr Waziri Isua Fursom
