It noted that whenever there is government directive, security agencies proceed on a sham house search for weapons or any items, such are being carried among the natives who barely are able to defend themselves from their regular and aided attackers.
TEKAN/ECWA bloc leader, Rev Moses Ebuga and the secretary of the fellowship, Rev Mohammed Mainuh while addressing newsmen in Jos, Plateau State capital, said this development has further rendered the people helpless and more vulnerable in the face of house-to-house onslaught which has become their fate. They noted that the alleged killers, Fulani herders roam about with weapons strapped on their bodies in the open glare of the same security agencies and are treated as untouchables.
They appealed to security agents in the state to be sincere and none partisan in the pursuit of their responsibilities, as it seems to favour a particular group. They also decried selective justice and imposition of grave injustice on the peace-loving communities’ in Plateau State, saying that it is highly unacceptable.
They further called on the National Emergency Management Agency and the State Emergency Management Agency to come to the aid of displaced people in the state by providing them with relief materials with a view to ameliorate their suffering.
