A group under the umbrella body of Forum of Former Plateau youth leaders (veterans), have demanded justice for family victims and communities in Bokkos, Barkin-Ladi and Mangu local government areas of Plateau that suffered Fulani militias onslaught.
The Plateau youth veterans who expressed disgust over Christmas Eve genocide in Bokkos, Barkin-Ladi and Mangu communities that claimed hundreds of innocent souls, destruction of houses and valuables worth millions of Naira, noted that the state is under the siege of ethnic cleansing through the instrumentality of religion, ethnicity and land grabbing.
Speaking to newsmen Tuesday in Jos, leader of Plateau Youth veterans, Comrade Yakubu Itse, revealed that Plateau, Middle belt and Nigeria as whole has being enveloped by its enemies.
The Forum urged President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to organized a National submit to address perennial of insecurity bedeviling the Nation.
Appreciating the action and directive of president Tinubu for sending a high-power delegation to Plateau led by the vice president, Senator Kashim Shettima and other service Chiefs, the Forum said, "let these visits not be like the previous visits that ended in mere condemnation and rhetorics but should muster the needed political will to prevent the ongoing carnage and dastardly act of the evil genocide monsters believed to be Fulani terrorists, rampaging Plateau state.
"We wish to state that, Plateau people have no place to run to. They have no any other land to settle and claim. But the Fulani person who is more or less nomadic can come from, as far as Mali, Niger Republic and Chad and is allowed to graze and farm freely but had always turned round to be a problem and threat to his landlord.
"We call on security to embark on a full scale investigation to arrest the perpetrators of this heinous crime, while Plateau government should synergize with Federal government to seeing to the implementation of Plateau Anti-land grabbing law.
"The new government at the Federal, state and Local Government to call a spade a spade and to ensure that those culprits be identified and arrested and given the appropriate punishment.
"There should be display of high level of professionalism amongst our security agencies to produce the needed results in the series of attacks in Plateau and Nigeria at large.
"We call on the security agencies to investigate the earlier alleged call by the Fulani's to ensure that Nigeria become the world headquarters of the Fulani's.
