Over 100 persons have been killed in the last two days in Mangu/Bokkos constituency of Plateau state, most of the people massacred and butchered in cold blood were women and children during an overnight unprovoked attack on their house burnt down including foodstuff, food barns, and seedlings.

Hon. Bulus Maren disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Jos that the killings are one among many in the constituency, where over 200 persons have been killed in the last four months before this. The government may claim to be doing its best but its best is not good enough, since it is not able to stop the killings in years.

However, He commended the few gallant officers working without sufficient arms, yet gave themselves to save lives.

The statement further explained that the responsibility lies in the President to first condemn the dastard act, which we expect him to do so, and immediately go ahead to protect lives and properties which is the primary responsibility of the government.

Therefore, called on the President to order the security agencies to be swift into action and move into the area with immediate effect to curb the killings, as well as the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) and other well-spirited organizations to also move in with relief materials for the wounded survivors of the dastard attack.

While urging for support across boards, “I condemn the attack in its entirety and call for calm and no one should take the law into his hand. I commiserate with the government and people of Plateau state, the MISKHAKAM MWAGAVUL, the Governor-Elect of Plateau State, and indeed the Chairman of Mangu LGA on the attack and pray for the repose of the souls of those killed.”
