Plateau State church denominational leaders and spiritual fathers have lent their voice in condemnation of the recent resurgence of attacks and killings in the state, describing it as mindless, devilish
and barbaric.
“We the Church Denominational Leaders and Spiritual Fathers on the Plateau, view this round of killings and destruction as devilish, barbaric, and an act of genocide against innocent and armless villagers. This again is another sad commentary on the unabated bloodletting that has engulfed Plateau State over the years without any meaningful attempt by government at federal and state levels to decisively address the unfortunate situation.
They also urged relevant emergency management agencies to urgently provide shelter and relief materials to the affected communities and bring them the much-needed succour. The statement read: “The killings which started in Mangu villages, Plateau State, Nigeria on Monday, 15 May 2023 by so-called unknown gunmen have claimed many lives and properties with many persons still missing. The villages affected include Fungzai, Hale, Kubwat, Bwoi and many other communities of Kombun District of Mangu Local Government Area and some communities in Riyom Local Government Area.
