Bandits Take Over, Rename 64 Communities In Plateau
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Governor, Caleb Muftwang of Plateau State has disclosed that 64 communities in the state are now under the occupation and control of terrorists.

Muftwang stated this while commenting on the recent violent attacks on several communities in the state and which led to the killings of many residents and destruction of valuables worth millions of naira.

The governor spoke on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“These communities that have been recently attacked were part of the communities that were attacked in 2023 but they survived it and rebuilt themselves.

“The Ruwi community that was first attacked lost about 17 people in 2023 but they bounced back to show you the resilience of the people,” the governor said.

In the past week, attacks across five communities in Plateau State have resulted in the deaths of over fifty people and the burning of more than three hundred houses by suspected herdsmen.

The Plateau State Government, through the Secretary to the Government Samuel Jatau, visited some of the affected areas to assess the damage and provide relief materials to the victims.

While Mr. Adu conveyed the Federal Government’s commitment to resolving the ongoing attacks and killings, Governor Muftwang emphasized that these attacks are not a recent phenomenon in the North-Central state.

He pointed out that Plateau State has been experiencing similar incidents for over a decade, but they have not garnered significant national attention.

“If these attacks have been going on for close to 10 years, it tells you that there is a deliberate, conscious attempt to clean out populations and to reopen.

“As I am talking to you, there are not less than 64 communities that have been taken over by bandits on the Plateau between Bokkos, Barkin Ladi and Riyom Local Governments.

“They have been taken over, renamed and people are living there conveniently on lands they pushed people away to occupy,”
the governor said.
