Bandits threaten another Plateau community after Christmas Eve massacre

  • Bandits have written a fresh attack notice to another Plateau community days after 195 lives were claimed in a massacre that is nationally condemned
  • The community leader said the letter is not an empty threat as previous fatal attacks were preceded over by the same anonymous letters
  • Nigerians are calling on the federal government to demonstrate the full might of its military power to end the decades-long recurring violence

Just a day after the Plateau state governor confirmed that no fewer than 195 lives were lost in a widely condemned Christmas Eve attack, another community has been given a fresh assault notice by an anonymous insurgent.

The notice stated that the Pushit community in Mangu LGA will be invaded today, 29 December. The apparent brazen disregard for national peace arrangements has sent shockwaves into the community.
