Plateau Killings: Youths wants Tinubu to declare Fulani bandits terrorists

Youths under the aegis of Plateau Youths Council (PYC), has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately declare the Fulani militia a Terrorists Group

The youth group also asked the President to immediately send the Military and all security forces to go after them with full force.

Chairman of the group, Comrade Dapip Titus who spoke in a press briefing on Tuesday in Jos, also called on the President to rebuild all the villages in Mangu, Bokkos, Barkin-Ladi, Riyom and Bassa that have been burnt down and destroyed by the Fulanis terrorists.

“We call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately declare the Fulani militia a Terrorists Group and order the Military and all Security Forces to go after them with full lethal forces in Plateau to work towards the restoration of peace in our State.

“Mr. President should give a matching order for the rebuilding of the villages in Mangu, Bokkos, Barkin-Ladi, Riyom, Bassa that are in ruins as a result of the barbaric acts of these terrorists and ensure the safe return of all displayed persons.

“On the eve of Christmas, the 24th December, 2023, over 17 villages in Bokkos LGA were again attacked by the rampaging Killer Fulani Militia. This very attack resulted in the gruesome murder of over 200 innocent men, women and children, maiming hundreds and looting and burning of property worth millions of naira.

“Just yesterday, Wang, Garau-sha , and Maiduna villages in Bokkos LGA were attacked by Fulani marauders. We are yet to ascertain the level and magnitude of casualties and devastation.

“Equally, the international community cannot stand and watch idly while innocent civilians suffer and lose their lives due to the senseless terror butchering going on. We call on the international community to come to our aid in addressing this genocide and the humanitarian crisis that has been occasioned.

“We are also calling on the International Community through the United Nations to help us and end this Genocide on the Plateau. We call on the International Criminal Court to focus its attention on the Plateau State with a view to identifying actors for prosecution”, Titus said.
