Middle-Belt group petitions Tinubu, Gov Mutfwang, DSS over killing of 276 persons in Plateau

An advocacy group under the aegies of the Global Society for Middle-Belt Heritage (GSMH) has petitioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang and the Department of State Security Service (DSS), over recent attacks in the state by gunmen where over 276 persons were reportedly killed.

The GSMH, at a press conference in Jos on Saturday, called on the federal and state governments as well as the DSS and other security agencies to swing into immediate action to arrest perpetrators of the attacks and bring them to justice.

In a statement jointly signed by the President of the group, Jerry Datim, and Secretary, Joshua John, the GSMH noted that during the attacks, around 43 villages were invaded by the assailants who have not relented in the attacks.
