The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has strongly condemned the recent wave of violence in Plateau State, where over 100 people were killed by suspected Fulani militias in Bokkos and Bassa local government areas. The group described the killings as a “national disgrace and a clear failure of governance.”
In a press release, CNG’s National Coordinator, Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, expressed outrage over the killings and displacement of thousands, calling on authorities to apprehend the culprits and bring them to justice. Charanchi stated, “We are tired of burying our children, mothers, and elders while the government looks the other way. Plateau’s agony is Nigeria’s shame.”
The CNG attributed the massacre to a broader pattern of insecurity in the country, including Boko Haram terrorism, banditry, and ethno-religious violence. The group accused the Nigerian government of inaction and demanded urgent, decisive steps to stop the bloodshed.
The CNG also called for the immediate deployment of reinforced security personnel to flashpoints across Plateau State and other northern regions facing similar threats.
