Caleb Mutfwang, the governor of the Plateau, announced on Tuesday that he and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will meet to discuss the recent terrorist assaults in the state.Mutfwang made this statement in response to a string of Christmas Eve attacks that have so far resulted in numerous fatalities and the displacement of hundreds of residents in the Plateau state's Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas.
In response to X, the governor said that because of the unjustified attacks that were carried out on multiple of their communities, he and the people of Plateau had to enjoy Christmas with heavy hearts.
"I will provide the president with accurate reports at our meeting today. Army Headquarters has made a response. He wrote on X, "The IG has also retaliated, and additional reinforcements are on their way.
The majority of the Barkin Ladi settlements that are assaulted are bordered by Bokkos Local Government. These bandits and crooks have completely destroyed not one but seventeen of our communities.
For those of us on the Plateau, Christmas has been very terrifying. With powerful weapons, this specific set of attacks was expertly orchestrated.
"In order to determine who is funding these attacks, the security agencies need to put in their job. We'll exert pressure on them to identify and apprehend everyone accountable for these assaults.
Mutfwang acknowledged that they might not be able to see this through to the conclusion until Plateau state and the security services shut off the sponsorship supply.
Nonetheless, in order to ensure a timely security response, the governor has asked everyone in the state to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity.
He emphasized that in order to protect their towns, the residents of the state must remain unified.
According to Mutfwang, "Plateau is the home of Peace and Tourism and by God's grace, it will remain so."
