Governor Simon Lalong Thursday said late Ropvil Daciya Dalep, died for Plateau state.
Lalong made the statement at Jing village of Pankshin local government, while on personal condolence visit to the family of the late two hundred level student of University of Maiduguri, that was recently killed by terrorists in Borno state.
This was contained in a press release issued by Lalong’s, director of press and public affairs, Dr Makut Macham.
He said: “If the killers of Ropvil justified their act on the fact that he is from Plateau state and a Christian, then it means he died for Plateau and Plateau state will not forget him. We will soon do something to keep his memory.
“His killers will never have peace and one day, they will pay the price of their evil whether here on earth or in the life after. Definitely their reward is hell, while his own reward is heaven.”
The governor asked the family to take solace in the fact that God who is the ultimate judge knows everything and will avenge the killing of Ropvil.
Responding on behalf of the deceased family, the Mishkaham Mupun Mishkom Yusuf Wale Fwangbring, thanked Governor Lalong, for personally visiting the family even after he had sent a delegation.
He said though the community was devastated by the gruesome murder of their son, the outpouring of love and support from all citizens of Plateau state and Nigerians at large has strengthened them because the action of the terrorists has been condemned by many.
The governor was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Regina, and his deputy, Professor Sonni Tyoden.
