Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has decried what he considered barbaric attack in Gari Ya Waye community, Angwan Rukuba, Jos, Plateau State.

Atiku, in a brief statement, condemned the heinous assault on Sunday night, saying it "is yet another damning indictment of the near-total collapse of security in our country."

Atiku lamented: "what we are witnessing is not merely a security lapse, but a tragic descent into lawlessness where human lives are treated as expendable."

He remarked that despite endless pronouncements and so-called marching orders, insecurity remains the grim, daily reality of ordinary Nigerians who continue to bear the brunt of a failing system.

"It is long past the time for outrage without action," he said.

Atiku in the statement asserted: "I am outraged by the barbaric attack in Gari Ya Waye community, Angwan Rukuba, Jos, which claimed the lives of scores of innocent Nigerians and left many others injured.

"That this heinous assault occurred on Sunday night, March 29, 2026, is yet another damning indictment of the near-total collapse of security in our country.

"What we are witnessing is not merely a security lapse, but a tragic descent into lawlessness where human lives are treated as expendable.

"Despite endless pronouncements and so-called marching orders, insecurity remains the grim, daily reality of ordinary Nigerians who continue to bear the brunt of a failing system.

"It is long past the time for outrage without action.

"The anger across the land must now compel urgent, decisive political will to confront and crush this menace. The continued slaughter of innocent citizens cannot become our new normal.

"My thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims in this dark and painful moment. -AA"
