There is apprehension in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, as youths and women in the state are currently protesting over incessant attacks and the killing of locals by gunmen suspected to be bandits, terrorists or herders.

The protesters wore black attire and display leaflets to express their dissatisfaction over the situation in Mangu that has led to hundreds of death in the community.

SaharaReporters had reported how suspected terrorists attacked and reportedly killed many residents, including women and children at Kubat village in the area during an assault last week.

The terrorists invaded the community when the villagers were asleep.

Last Wednesday, a member of the House of Representatives representing Mangu/Bokkos Federal Constituency in Plateau State, Solomon Marren, said about 200 people had been killed by terrorists in his constituency within a few months.

A statement issued by the lawmaker said over 100 people were killed within two days.

“I find it expedient at this time to intimate the world on the unfortunate happenings in my constituency, Mangu/Bokkos Federal Constituency, Plateau state, in the last two days, where over 100 persons, most of them women and children, have been massacred and butchered in cold blood by terrorist during an overnight unprovoked attack, and their houses burnt down, including foodstuffs, food barns and seedlings,” he said.

Governor Simon Lalong, who confirmed the crisis in the area, described it as a sad development.

He directed security forces to pursue and apprehend the attackers.

According to Dr. Makut Simon, Lalong's Director of Press and Public Affairs, the governor also directed the State Emergency Management Agency and the Peace Building Agency to visit the area and assess the humanitarian needs in order to provide assistance to those affected while an investigation was being carried out.

To Tinubu and other heartless Nigerian politician, Hilda Bici cooking for 100 hours and breaking world record is more noteworthy than 100 people dying in two days in plateau state.

To fight herdsman you must be ready to fight police ,army and then herdsman

They would come kill your people police won't do anything ...they can do that for years you won't see one police bike in your place

But once u revenge and kill one come can see army and police arresting your youths

The best way is when they attack you don't talk , infact deny the attack ...even even when media talks about it deny

The look for their nearest camp count 10 ...pick a random day or night ,40 days , 33 days ...gather your youths n make sure you preach to everyone in that camp ...every single one preach to them to repent

The next morning live your life like normal ,you have done the lords work

You better go and buy a gun, the IGP is interested in Seun slapping a police man. Herbsmen killing is not very important right now. The Nigerian police is not interested in your safety. They are looking for me as I'm writing this text.

lordkush:
this is what I keep saying. We need militias that even the army won’t want to go near. Then we will have peace. Because Buhari will send soldiers and Olopa to go kill this people now. Just watch out

lordkush:
if I catch that igp I’ll bend him over, strap him to a chair and let my Rottweiler Bleep his big ass
