A group of terrorists terrorising local towns in Plateau State, have reportedly written a letter informing inhabitants of Pushit village, in Mangu local government area, that they will invade the community today, Friday.
According to the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Middle-Belt Forum, Stanley Kavwam, insurgents have sent a letter of an impending attack to a community in Plateau State.
Speaking during an interview during a television programme yesterday, Kavwam said the terrorists are planning to launch the attack on Pushit community in Mangu LGA on Friday, December 29.
Recall that last week, Plateau communities suffered coordinated attacks by gunmen who killed over 100 people and left many others injured and displaced.
Kavwam claimed the military is aware of the identity of the attackers and their hideouts, adding that some communities are still being invaded.
Commenting on informing security forces of impending attacks, he said over 30 distress calls were made to the personnel before the recent attack in Plateau. “Section 14 (b) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) stipulates that the welfare and security of the people shall be the primary purpose of Government”, he noted.
He added that despite President Tinubu’s directive to Service Chiefs to intensify security in the affected communities, “nothing has changed, and the attacks are still going on; and there is no response from the security authorities”.
