The U.S. has strongly condemned the attacks in Plateau in which no fewer than 86 people were killed and several others injured.

The U.S. in a statement by Ms Heather Nauert, Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, said the perpetrators of the attacks should be brought to justice.

“The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the killing of civilians and destruction of property in Nigeria’s Middle Belt region over the weekend.

“We are concerned by the recent increase in armed violence against civilians and call on all political and community leaders to lend their voices to peace and to work together to find lasting solutions to these rural conflicts.

“We join President Buhari and others in sending our deepest condolences to the affected communities, and in the desire to see the perpetrators brought to justice and to prevent further violence,” Nauert said.

According Mr Terna Tyopev, the Public Relations Officer of the Police Command in Plateau, 50 houses, two cars and 15 motorcycles were burnt in the attacks by herders.

The herdsmen were reported to have invaded Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area where the deaths occurred.

The Plateau Government has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in Riyom, Barkin Ladi and Jos South local government areas following the attacks.

President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the attacks, describing the incident as “very painful and regrettable”, and warned that the government would not rest until the assailants were brought to justice.

Just arrest the chief terrorist in aso rock and we are good

A special condemnation should be worded against the Buhari presidency for being deliberately and irresponsibly impotent against the terrorism that even the Fulani herdsmen have taken responsibility for.

Let them keep condemning

Una join President wey never send condolence message yet nor condemn any of the killings, una well so?

We condemn it too

The dullard will never listen i remember trump warn him about the killing of christians in nigeria

Imagine.

If Nigeria cannot afford security, then let us part ways with her.

stop condemning and take actions.

For condolence buhari have accepted but for bringing the pepitrarors to book that one he cannot guarantee.

What will Buhari do to his kinsmen (Fulani Herders)? Absolutely nothing

For those claiming it is Suswan that sponsored killings in Benue or the opposition, I have few questions for u.

1) Why is Buhari still claiming these are Libyans?

2) Why did the Buhari security chief claim it's because of Open grazing ban.?

3) Christians have been convicted for killing Fulanis, what is still delaying the convictions of those arrested fulanis that attacked Enugu state and other places?

4) Why has the killers of Bridget Aburime not yet convicted?

5) What happened to the convictions of killers of the redeemed woman?

6) the IG disobeyed order to go to Benue, why has he not been sacked?

And many more. Those defending Buhari should simply hide their face in SHAME!

What is the use of condemning something??

Somebody ring the alarm...., there is terrorist in aso rock.

They should not just condemn...US and Europe hould slam serious sanctions on buhari/APC ' Government...It is long overdue.

U think they don't battle killings too in their own country right..

United State of America should know that we have a terrorist Government led by Muhammadu Buhari with Terrorist Army Chiefs in Nigeria. I Called on US government to please set us free from Buhari, which The ex US Government of OBAMA the Devil imposed on Us. God Bless America!!!!

Trump if u can help us arrest them we will appreciate, their brothers here are not ready to do that.

Keep condemning... They will do worst in days to come, and nobody can do anything about it.


A storm is coming.

Don't worry.they are already hiding their faces in shame but I really respect those his supporters who come out at a time like this and call a spade what it is.everyone is entitled to their own political beliefs n ideologies but for Christ said we are talking about human lives here and it's appealing that it is being politicized by this government.

Throwback:

Yes!!! Thank you

That's good. I pray US comes to our rescue.

This is not only to condemn.The world powers should help seek a diplomatic pressure on the government to the arrest & punish the culprits-Miyetti Allah Hore.

I disagreed US na IPOB why should they condemn the killings? Its political and only ipob will condemn it

I hope the US govt is watching Miyetti Allah terrorist organization.

I will give anything to read the files the CIA has on these herdsmen.
