Vice President Kashim Shettima urges youths in Plateau State to reject ethnic profiling and the inheritance of hatred. Speaking in a message aimed at reducing tensions and discouraging the cycle of violence, he tells young people not to associate crime with particular ethnic or religious groups. Shettima says criminals “have no tribe” or religion, emphasizing that individuals who commit offences are not defined by community identity. He also calls on the younger generation to avoid retaliatory thinking linked to past grievances and to instead embrace peace, reconciliation, and coexistence. The message focuses on preventing young people from being drawn into violence through stereotypes or inherited bitterness. Across the two reports, both describe Shettima’s appeal for unity in Plateau State and his call for youths to reject hatred and ethnic profiling as a way to support long-term stability and harmony.
