Death Toll In Plateau Attack Rises To 52

Tensions have soared in the state since about
200 people were killed at Christmas 2023 celebrations during a bloody attack on a majority Christian village.

The death toll from the recent attacks in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State has risen to 52, according to local authorities.

This followed the recovery of 40 more bodies on Wednesday and Thursday night while the search and rescue team kept combing the bushes for missing persons.

The Chairman of Bokkos Cultural Development Council (BCDC) Vanguard, Farmasum Fuddang, told Channels Television that 31 persons were given a mass burial on Thursday with another five underaged victims burnt to ashes in Hurti village. 11 others were killed in Ruwi village, four in Manguna village with one person killed in Daffo village.

According to the Cultural Group Vanguard, residents are awaiting an outcome from the ongoing search and rescue of missing persons in the Hurti and Mbar villages respectively.

The Plateau State Government has condemned the attacks and called for calm as a coordinated security response is currently ongoing in the affected areas.

In a statement on Friday, the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, expressed concern about the renewed attacks.

She described the unfortunate incident as a setback to the gains in maintaining law and order by security agencies in the local government area.

“Security agencies have deployed and dominated these areas to ensure normalcy returns at the shortest possible time,” she stated.

“Additionally, important arrests have been made by the security agencies and this will hopefully help in stemming the tide of this ugly situation.”

Ramnap also urged Plateau residents to exercise restraint and refrain from taking the law into their own hands as the state government has deployed strategic measures to enhance intelligence gathering, surveillance, and rapid response mechanisms in collaboration with security operatives.

Also, religious, traditional, and community leaders have been urged to reinforce the message of peace, unity, and lawful engagement as the government is committed to upholding law and order and will not relent in its pursuit of justice against those who seek to destabilize the communities.

Residents were also encouraged to remain law-abiding, security efforts, and utilize official channels for security concerns.

Tensions have soared in the state since about 200 people were killed at Christmas 2023 celebrations during a bloody attack on a majority Christian village.

In May last year, around 40 people were killed and homes torched in the town of Wase.

State of emergency

Plateau no get oil na..in oshiomole voice,,they should go n die... Wicked people everywhere..

Religious war or ethnic cleansing or settlers war?

Two people quarrel and boom! State of emergency.
Terrorists kill citizens, even as a game to celebrate Eid. You, and your assistant call them miscreants and travel out of the country.
I spit on democracy in Africa!

This is not a country wahalahi

It is only heartless suffering people that can be praising the heartless politicians

Insecurity everywhere

Who's going to give compensations to the families of the victims?

According to George, "Animals are equal but some animals are more superior then others".

Waiting for same northerners who said justice for Edo to come say justice for plateau.

All killings are bad. You can't be quiet when your brothers kill innocent people and then only seek for justice when others kill your innocent brothers.

Let's pray all killings stop in Nigeria.

Because the attackers are known, the govt is calling for calm.
Indeed, 'there was a country' apologies to Prof. Chinua Achebe.

The sad part is that we will claim to be in the 21st century with other nations.


These barbaric killings do not even happen in Ethiopia that is almost eight years behind us calendar-wise.

... and the nitwit at the helm is no where to be seen, his clown assistant also gone on jamboree.
The third in command is busy shouting Natasha! Natasha!

There will be no protest. We are only concern with what is happening in Palestine

Useless unity beggars over to una!
Hypocrites!

Make God sha forgive Plateau people and all the middle belt people wey dey die anyhow.

I no want Biafra war and the role dem play.

See how Nigerian government take abandon them now.

Who are the perpetrator of this act?

If the measures we give in tackling crime are always the same, crime would have had no hiding place in our country. If this happened in the South, it would have been another story

Plateau state and killings are just one family

Is this how real Nigerians will be looking and allow this bloodsucking fulanis killing us I think it's high time other tribes united and deal with these useless killers, we need to chase them out of our land, they are not part of us!

When the herdsmen kill people, this is what the Government does - "The Plateau State Government has condemned the attacks and called for calm as a coordinated security response is currently ongoing in the affected areas."
But when the people get rid of these criminals, the Government orders arrests, changes Police Commissioner of the state, travels to bandit's state to compensate them and do nothing for there own people who are the real victims. Always calling for calm and condemning.

After ing forces with the Fulanis to kill the Igbos, look at what is happening now
Where's Gowon?

Antichristian2:
Religious war or ethnic cleansing or settlers war?

Genocide

And our governor, after g pact with a drone company still went public to announce it for the enemies of the state to read and get prepared to make use of another means of fomenting troubles.

May God take care of Plateau State by Himself and fight for her perpetual peace.

Was almost getting angry and worried when I read the title but it's all good now. The victims here were innocent people and not armed hausa terrorists, so there's nothing to fear. We only throw a fuss when criminal groups face street justice and not when they pillage farm lands, rape the women and slaughter the men and their sons.

Genocide

Which tribe or race is being killed?

Achor1111:
Useless unity beggars over to una!
Hypocrites!

I hope you realise the unity beggars are Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ben Nwabueze, Aguyi-Ironsi and Emeka Ujukwu

Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ben Nwabueze wrote the aspects of the constitution that prevented any part of Nigeria from separating. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ben Nwabueze went further to make it a treasonable offense for any region or anyone to seek separation from Nigeria.

Aguyi Ironsi ensured that Adaka Boro was arrested and disgraced and jailed for treason when he tried to create the Niger Delta republic.

Aguyi Ironsi ordered Emeka Ojukwu to arrest Adaka Boro whem he tried to create Niger Delta republic.

Aguyi Ironsi with the help of 4 other Igbos promulgated decree 34

Which tribe or race is being killed?

The minorities are the target. They want to take Jos away from the minorities. You know Jos is a beautiful city with many other benefits.

Rivers State, Two people fighting; House of Assembly running away from budget equal to State of Emergency.

Plateau State. Destruction of human lives going into hundreds. No state of emergency.

Only in Nigeria..


Tinubu is so shameless!
