In the 2023 Christmas
period running from December 23-25, armed assailants in co-ordinated
attacks wiped out 20 communities in Magu, Bokkos and Bakin areas of
Plateau State. They killed over 200, injured a minimum 500 and put over 10,000
in flight.
The headlines expressing ‘Outrage over Plateau killings’ are tragically, familiar and might have as well been cast ten, fifteen years ago. The perpetrators are same; a trained, vicious, co-ordinated bunch, some assembled from West and Central Africa states.
