The Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Muftwang, where over 50 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in recent weeks, says the assault on the area is sponsored and genocidal.
Attackers struck in several communities in the Bokkos Local Government Area (LGA) of the North-Central state, displacing many and leaving a trail of destruction behind.
Muftwang, miffed by the killings, have linked the attacks to some unnamed terrorist groups. According to him, the assault in Plateau State is being sponsored and targeted at wiping off communities in the state.
“I can tell you in all honesty that I cannot find any explanation other than genocide sponsored by terrorists. The question is, who are the persons behind the organisers of this terrorism? This is what the security agencies must help us to unravel,” the governor said on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“We must come to the point where we know the sponsors because it is not just the work of ordinary people. This is being sponsored from somewhere, and I am sure that in the coming days, the security agencies will work together – not at cross purposes but in unison – to be able to bring out the requisite intelligence that will help us to put this matter behind us.”
