The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has cited the difficult terrain and other factors as the reasons behind the delayed response of troops during the recent attacks in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State.


The attacks, which took place on Sunday, resulted in the tragic loss of 150 lives, with over 10,000 individuals displaced from their homes.


Governor Caleb Mutfwang, in an interview on Channels Television on Tuesday, acknowledged that the response to the attacks could have been more effective. Governor Mutfwang expressed, “I wouldn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.


Certainly, the response time can be better. There were distress calls sent out. Some of the responses would have been delayed for various reasons, including the nature of our terrain.”


In a similar vein, Amnesty International called on the authorities on Tuesday to investigate the inability of security agencies to curb the attacks. Isa Sanusi, the AI Country Director, revealed that their investigation showed armed men operating for more than 48 hours, moving systematically from one village to another.

What about the ones the government grants amnesty and they later turned against the government? Can't they be arrested and use to fish out others?

okoo

The attackers carried out their evil acts for good 48 hours and these idiots are here giving flimsy excuses. The earlier you guys understand that there is nothing like Nigeria Army but rather Fulani Army then the better for all of you. Form a defense force and attack anything that looks like Fulani. Don't just wait till they attack you. Attack them anywhere they are seen until they leave una lands.

Fulani military you mean??

They will never respond. Always have excuses and blames to give like their C-in-C
