The terrorists wreaking havoc in Plateau State have threatened to assault a village there today (Friday) with further strikes.
Stanley Kavwam, the Middle Belt Forum’s deputy national publicity secretary, acknowledged the threat on Thursday during an appearance on the Arise TV show.
As to his account, the Pushit community in Mangu Local Government Area, from whence he originates, received a letter from the terrorists threatening an impending attack.
“I got a call as I was travelling from Jos to this location. The terrorists warned my own community in a letter that they planned to launch an invasion on December 29.
He stated, “There was a letter to that effect that was dropped by an anonymous person, informing the residents of Mangu LGA that there would be attacks,” referring to all the planned attacks.
According to reports, the letter was received just four days after the courageous gunman broke into 17 towns on Christmas eve, killing multiple people and setting the settlements on fire.
The horrific attack on gullible peasants in the state’s three local government districts has left 196 people dead.
According to a trustworthy source with knowledge of the tragic event, at least 149 people—including women and children—have been laid to rest in the state’s Bokkos Local Government Area as of Thursday.
He noted that no fewer than 28 lives were lost in Barkin Ladi LGA as a result of the unprovoked attack by the ruthless attackers who have been wreaking havoc throughout the state.
Similarly, during the horrific attack, roughly 19 people were shot and killed in the Mangu Local Government Area. Every attack took place on a single day.
Over time, the state’s ongoing massacres have raised the question of whether or not the perpetrators are known.
According to a security source, the terrorists’ identities are not kept a secret.
He claims that it is a long-standing problem that affects some state stakeholders.
There are those that consciously obstruct security personnel’s efforts. There has been a technical problem with it for years. But rest assured that the local security services are searching for ways to put an end to this assault permanently.
“We can give them what they want since they don’t want peace,” he stated in an unidentified voice.
Recall that in an interview with Arise TV, federal legislator Hon. Peter Ibrahim Gyendeng, who represents Barkin Ladi/Riyom in Plateau State in the House of Representatives, claimed to know the attackers.
The congressman claimed that even the security authorities are aware of the assailants in a video footage that has lately made its way back onto social media.
He further stated that terrorists typically don’t announce their strikes.
“They are not hidden,” he declared. They are well known to the security services. When they launch an attack, we are aware of their whereabouts.
It is not concealed. The good Samaritan among the herders will frequently call and declare, “These people are coming to attack.” This is a common occurrence.
Occasionally, the location they declare they will attack is not really attacked. They will launch an attack from another weak spot.
