The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has condemned the renewed violence in Jos, Plateau.
The National Publicity Secretary Arewa of ACF, Mr Emmanuel Yawe, expressed the concerns of the body in a statement in Kaduna on Sunday.”Religious and traditional leaders must impress on their people to exercise restraint and not take the laws in their hands”.
ACF recalled that there was an attack on over 20 farms in Miango, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau last month in which unknown terrorists attacked and destroyed maize farms. “According to the police, 22 people were killed and those killed were Muslims which points to the fact that it was a reprisal attack.“We were about to rejoice that Plateau has now become a peaceful state.
