Plateau State on Monday began the distribution of relief materials to victims of recent attacks in some parts of the state.
The exercise took off in Yelwa Zangam community in Jos North, which was attacked on Aug. 24 where 33 lives were lost and many houses destroyed.
The Deputy Governor, Sonni Tyoden, presented the relief materials to the communities, his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Doman Wetkum, said in a statement he issued on Monday in Jos.
He stated that while distributing the items Tyoden appealed to the affected persons to remain calm, as government would do everything possible to ensure that they were well catered for.
The distribution of items followed a state-wide broadcast earlier in the day by Gov. Simon Lalong, who promised the distribution of relief materials to those affected by the attacks.
