Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang has said the recent killings of over 50 people and thousands rendered homeless in the state are sponsored and genocidal.
The governor, who stated this, Tuesday on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, said the assailants struck in several communities in Bokkos Local Government Area of the state, displacing many and leaving a trail of destruction behind.
Mutfwang, said that the assault in Plateau State was being sponsored and targeted at wiping off communities in the state which was linked it to some unnamed terrorist groups.
He said: “I can tell you in all honesty that I cannot find any explanation other than genocide sponsored by terrorists.
“The question is, who are the persons behind the organisers of this terrorism? This is what the security agencies must help us to unravel.
“We must come to the point where we know the sponsors because it is not just the work of ordinary people. This is being sponsored from somewhere, and I am sure that in the coming days, the security agencies will work together – not at cross purposes but in unison – to be able to bring out the requisite intelligence that will help us to put this matter behind us”.
