150 People Were Buried in Last Three Weeks After Plateau Attacks, Says Governor Mutfwang 

Plateau State Governor, Mr. Caleb Mutfwang, has revealed that no fewer than 150 people have been killed in the Mangu Local Government Area (LGA) of the state in the last three weeks.
The state has over the years been battling with security challenges often involving the killing of citizens by unidentified gunmen.
Speaking during a live television programme at the weekend, Governor Mutfwang lamented the increase in attacks in the state in recent weeks.
“Last night four people were killed in Mangu. Conservatively, I will put it that in the last three weeks, we have buried not less than 150 people in Mangu local government.


“And as I am talking to you, we have no less than 30,000 scattered in various IDP camps that we are having to deal with now,” Mutfwang said.
Asked what he thinks the problem is, the governor said it is fundamentally a breakdown of trust in both inter-communities and intra-communities, which opened the flanks for non-state actors.


He said a new pattern has emerged whereby “80 per cent of the situation is pure genocide simplicity against the people of Plateau”.
The governor, who paid a visit to President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, expressed confidence that the Nigerian leader is determined to deal with the situation.
“I had the privilege and honour to have a meeting with Mr. President at very short notice. The meeting centered around the challenges of security in the Plateau and I found Mr. President full of listening ears, full of determination to deal with the issues and I think it is going to be a welcome change.


“The response of Mr. President is reassuring, his understanding of the problem was quite comforting, and certainly Mr. President is showing that he has a political will to deal with the issues.
“He is about to rejig the security architecture in the country and I am sure he is going to come with a new vigour, with a new sense of patriotism and nationalism that I am sure we will be able to have some respite at the end of the day,” the governor stated.
