Following incessant attacks on Villages, Plateau Our Heritage group, POH on Monday said deliberate efforts must be employed to flush out killer herdsmen/terrorists from the surroundings in the state.

The group further added that security operatives should go after those attacking Innocent villagers and they should be made to pay for their heinous actions as that would serve as a deterrence to those that may take advantage of its lukewarm response to these dastardly threats to our existence as a people.

The group in a statement signed by Hon. Alex Kwapnoe its chairman reads that as a group we are totally disappointed with the body language of the government at all levels on the war that has been declared on the people of the state.

The statement also added that “It is not in doubt that the Plateau man is a peaceful person and has opened his doors to all manner of people to the point that as it is today, he is gradually losing grip of these doors as the enemy has taken his peaceful disposition for granted and are using their size, economic cloud and by all means to chase him from his God-given ancestral abode.

It has been witnessed in recent times, that apart from the daily, kidnappings, killings in Jos city and plateau lands, the enemies have devised another plot by engaging in the decimation of unripe farm crops with the government at local govt and state paying irrelevant lip service as usual.

We are further worried over the unabated attacks which point to the fact that the government and its agencies are either overwhelmed or are in support of the ongoing carnage in the communities; especially in Miango, Bassa, Riyom, Barkin Ladi, Jos south, and Bokkos LGAs axis with no arrests of any sort, even when victims have said it times without number; that their tormentors are sponsored and fully armed herdsmen.

The group added that a situation where over 40 hectares of farmlands with a variety of crops are completely destroyed beyond resurrection and growth is a delicate matter that is deliberately employed to not only impoverished the state and its citizens but to intimidate and exterminate the people through hunger and violence.

The group also said that “We stand bold to challenge the government to either do the needful and save the situation by directing the Safe Haven, OPSH, to relocate to the area which also shares boundary with neighboring Kaduna state and to accept the fact that it is part of the plot to undermining the existence of the communities.

Kwapnoe said the government should urgently also take inventory of the distributions of both human and farm resources and arrange to compensate them and equally live up to its bidding of safeguarding lives and properties of the citizens.
