According to the monarch, the soldiers deployed in the area said they could not defend the helpless victims because there was no instruction that they should do so.
The paramount ruler of Irigwe ethnic nationality in Plateau State, The Bra Ngwe Irigwe, Rt Rev Ronku Aka, has said soldiers watched as his people were killed by suspected herdsmen during a recent invasion of Bassa Local Government Area. Aka stated this when the President of the Para-Mallam Peace Foundation, Rev Gideon Para-Mallam, led other officials of the non-governmental organisation on a sympathy visit to his palace in Miango, Sunday Punch reports.
“At peace meetings, the governor will give order but the security men will go and do a different thing. “When I enquired what was happening, some soldiers cried to me that they did not receive the order to repel the attackers on the communities. “If the security agents were deployed and allowed to do their job, may be, the attackers would not have succeeded with their evil plans and my people would not be suffering what they are experiencing at the moment.
