The Irigwe people of Plateau State have called for help following incessant attacks on their farmlands and properties by suspected Fulani militias.
A statement jointly issued by the National President, Irigwe Youths Movement, Ezekiel Bini; National Secretary, Zamfara Ishagoro; and National Publicity Secretary, Lawrence Zongo lamented that the tactic adopted by the attackers is a deliberate effort to throw the entire Irigwe nation into famine, dearth, excessive hunger, food insufficiency, inadequacy and untimely death.
According to the statement, on the 20th June, 2021, 12 farmlands were destroyed at Ri-bakwa and Te’egbe, on the 4th July, 2021 eight farmlands at Chuvo were destroyed, on the 9th June 2021, over 45 farmlands at Zonwrru were destroyed, stressing that on the 10th to 14th July, 2021, 22 farmlands at Nzhwaruba were destroyed, on the 16th and 18th, July 2021 six farmlands at Chuvo were destroyed.
The group suggested that the directive by the governor for the incident to be investigated and the perpetrators punished should not be swept under the carpet.
