President Bola Tinubu has declared a full-scale military offensive in Plateau State following a brutal attack that claimed at least 51 lives in fresh communal violence.
The latest bloodshed, which occurred in the Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi areas, has reignited national outrage over Nigeria’s worsening security crisis.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of horror as armed assailants stormed villages, burning homes and shooting fleeing residents. The president, in a strongly worded statement, condemned the "heinous act" and ordered security forces to "hunt down the perpetrators without mercy."
Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang blamed the attack on "well-armed foreign militias," raising fears of escalating ethnic tensions. Meanwhile, survivors are left grieving as emergency workers struggle to recover bodies.
Will this military crackdown finally bring peace to Plateau, or is Nigeria’s security apparatus failing its people once again?
