During his Plateau visit, Mr Tinubu met bereaved families, former governors, traditional rulers and top government officials to assess the situation.
He directed security agencies to track down and apprehend those responsible for the killings.
“The perpetrators must be brought to justice,” the president said, assuring affected communities of the government’s commitment to restoring peace.
The visit formed part of efforts to address the crisis and reassure residents of improved security measures.
While in Lagos, Mr Tinubu is expected to inaugurate key infrastructure projects executed by the Sanwo-Olu administration.
“These projects reflect our commitment to development and improved living standards,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said ahead of the ceremonies.
Among the projects slated for inauguration is the Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge, expected to ease traffic congestion across the metropolis.

According to Mr Onanuga, Mr Tinubu will travel to Ogun on Saturday to inaugurate the Gateway International Cargo Airport.
