Plateau massacre: Villagers Cry Out As Terrorists Threaten Fresh Attacks

According to reports, terrorists are preparing new attacks on a Plateau State community this Friday, or today, just four days after they murdered 195 people in 17 different communities throughout the state.

This was revealed in an interview with Arise Television on Thursday by Stanley Kavwam, the Middle Belt Forum’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary.

He claims that the culprits wrote a letter to the Mangu Local Government Area’s Pushit community.
Some residents in the community who spoke to The Punch lamented that the attackers told them in the letter that they would run on the streets with Christmas chicken and rice in their hands.

According to them, since the information of the impending attack spread, the residents no longer sleep at night.

From the letter, the terrorists said we would be running in the street with chicken and Christmas rice in our hands.

As a matter of fact, we hardly sleep because we don’t know when they will come. This is not the first time they would send such letters of their plans to attack, and on several occasions, they had carried out their threat. So, please help us to tell the government and the security agents to come to our rescue. They should act quickly to save lives and not take the threat for granted.”

When asked about the impending attack on the Pushit community, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Alabo Alfred, told The Punch that the command was aware of the threat.’’We have intelligence, but we are working on it, “the PPRO assured.
