A member of the United States House of Representatives, Chris Smith, has condemned the recent attack in Jos, Plateau State, describing it as “absolutely unacceptable” and calling on Nigerian authorities to arrest those responsible.
Gunmen killed about 28 people at a community bar on March 29, an attack which coincided with the Christian observance of Palm Sunday. Smith said the incident reflects a disturbing pattern of violence in the region.
In a statement, the lawmaker urged the Nigerian government to take immediate steps to protect citizens, including deploying adequate security and ensuring perpetrators are held accountable. He also called for continued support for victims of religious violence.
