Former Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang, has revealed that killers in the state are on a cleansing agenda.
Jang made this known t in a statement signed by his media consultant, Clinton Garuba, on Friday.
He explained that the killing was a plan to wipe out the villagers and take over their land.
He said, “The killings on the plateau would seem to have gone on unabated as the non-arrest and prosecution of perpetrators have bolstered the serial killers to carry out more and more killings.
” Unfortunately, villagers in Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, Bassa, Riyom and Mangu LGAs have continued to bear the brunt of terrorists who seem to have sworn to dispossess them of their heritage at all costs.
“That these killers are out on a cleansing agenda and plan to take over the lands of the people they try to wipe out is no longer hidden. As painful as these killings are, equally hard and painstaking efforts must be made to put an end to them to restore Plateau to its known peaceful atmosphere which made it home to many people, even in decades past.”
While condoling with the family of the deceased, he urged the government to take security in the state as an issue of urgent importance.
