• Traditionalists Should Rise Up To Defend Communities— LawmakerThe recent attacks that saw many Irigwe people dead and houses burnt in Miango Village of Bassa Council of Plateau State by alleged Fulani militia without any intervention from the army is said to be fast eroding the people’s confidence in the military and other security agencies. Furthermore, they said the army could not be seen as unbiased protector.
He called on the state, federal governments and security agencies to intervene and prevail on the army to stop the genocide, adding that government must rise up to its responsibility of protecting citizens’ lives and property, irrespective of tribes, ethnicity or religion, “otherwise the country will quickly degenerate into total anarchy.
“We are also calling on well-meaning Nigerians to be their brothers’ keepers and open up their homes for the displaced persons, provide support for food, water, clothing and medical services for victims…” The lawmaker wondered for how long the people would continue to be patient, while the Fulani keep coming. He implored the international community to come to their aid, since the government could not protect them.
