Sequel to the recent attacks in some communities of Bassa LGA of Plateau State, which claimed many lives, leaving farms and houses razed, the Senator
representing Plateau North, Istifanus Gyang, has urged the military task force responsible for the maintenance of peace in the state, Operation Safe Haven, the Police and the DSS, to discharge their duties “dispassionately and provide protection to endangered communities of Plateau North and ensure that all threats to peace are decisively dealt with”.
Gyang, through his Special Assistant, Media and Protocol, Musa Ibrahin Ashoms, said, “Most disturbing is the fact that repeated attacks have all been preceded by widely circulated intelligence information as to the date, time and location of the attacks.” The lawmaker further stated that, “A pattern, ugly one at that, has become the norm than the exception in bloody and highly destructive attacks on host communities in Plateau North Senatorial District where killer herdsmen kill and destroy both lives and livelihood with reckless abandon.”
Gyang, who is the Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Defence, added that, “I’m urging the OPSH, Police, and DSS to discharge their duties dispassionately and provide protection to endangered communities of Plateau North and ensure that all threats to peace are decisively dealt with”.
