A Group under the auspices of Global Society for Middle-Belt Heritage Have raised an alarm over the resurgence of Attacks and Killings on the Plateau, which they said have affected the education of children in the affected areas.
While Addressing Newsmen in Jos, the Group said the Recent attacks in some Plateau Communities have claimed over 250 lives and rendered over 30 thousand People homeless while calling for the prosecution of suspects arrested with firearms during the attaks.
Insecurity has continued to thrive on the Plateau, without lasting solutions, sadly, it has led to loss of lives, property and displaced thousands of people. No doubt this is the reason for the call on the Federal Government to act by ending the killings, and bring the perpetrators to book.
