Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has called on the Federal Government to stop wanton killings in Plateau State.

Falana, who expressed sadness over the killing of innocent Nigerians in Plateau State, regretted that the dastardly acts had become the order of the day.

In a statement, he said though the Federal Government and the Plateau State Government had set up judicial and administrative panels of enquiry, the culprits that were identified and recommended for prosecution were treated like sacred cows.

“Hence, the wanton killing of innocent people and destruction of property have continued unabated,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Commander of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), Maj.-Gen. Abdusalam Abubakar, said his troops had responded to several distress calls during the attacks.
Abubakar said: “In the last 48 hours, we have responded to 36 distress calls from different locations, simultaneously.”

As we speak, some of our men are in hospitals due to the injuries sustained in the attacks. But we are committed to ensuring that we put a stop to all criminal activities in Plateau.”

But MACBAN has said that Fulani and their cattle had become targets of revenge by armed youths in Bokkos local council of the state.

The state chairman of the association, Muhammed Nuru Abdullahi, accused security personnel of colluding with farmers to attack the Fulani herders.
