Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has confirmed that the death toll in the coordinated attacks on over 15 communities in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas has risen to over 115.
Governor Mutfwang condemned the unprovoked attacks, describing them as “unprecedented and monumental.” The assailants targeted communities on Christmas Eve, setting houses ablaze, looting farm produce, and causing widespread destruction.
Governor Mutfwang called on security agents to unravel the sponsors of the attacks and emphasized the need for an improved response time to such incidents. He warned that residents may not be able to restrain themselves if the attacks persist
