Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has stated that the ongoing attacks and killings in some parts of the State is a coordinated crime sponsored by conflict merchants and not farmer-herder clashes as speculated.
Governor Muftwang made this assertion during the Fashion and Arts Exhibition organised by the Tincity Fashion Week titled “The Plateau Experience”, in Abuja.
It would be recalled that gunmen attacked Manguno, Daffo and Josho communities of Bokkos Local Government Area, LGA, of the State.
During the attack, many houses and other properties worth millions were destroyed, and there were human fatalities.
The Governor insisted that the attacks were a well- organised criminality, and disclosed that his Government and Security Agencies had put measures in place to forestall future occurrence.
“I want to thank all of you who are here to support and honour Plateau with your presence in this event. We do not take this show of solidarity lightly.
“We contemplated suspending this event due to the current security situation in the state, but we decided not to allow the situation ruin the good things we have to celebrate.
“And I must say that the aim of the enemy is to throw the state into gloom and mourning but we will rise above their intent and not give them what they want.
“For those who think that the current situation is a farmer-herder issue, let me disabuse your mind from that perception; it is a product of organised crime by malicious elements who do not want peace to reign in the state.
“I want to assure the good people of Plateau that God will give us victory over these miscreants and their end has come” he said.
