If you are that close and you engaged them closely, you should be able to say this is where they followed and the measures to arrest them.
The Plateau State Government has strongly rebuked the Nigerian Army for its failure to arrest or neutralise gunmen responsible for murdering 27 farmers in Tahoss community, Riyom LGA, on Monday. The incident occurred barely 200 metres from a military checkpoint.
State Commissioner for Information Joyce Ramnap said, “None were arrested and none were captured. None of those killed were affected by all that happened.” Despite proximity to an access road and checkpoints, no suspects face detainment.
Ramnap conveyed the governor’s demand for accountability: “If you are that close and you engaged them closely like that, you should be able to say this is where they followed and the measures to arrest them, but so far, no arrest has been made.” She described the attack as “unprovoked and despicable,” adding that crops were also deliberately destroyed.
Echoing Governor Caleb Mutfwang, she warned that repeated killings in Plateau could constitute genocide. While some soldiers “are gallant,” she noted, “we still have the bad eggs among them.”
