A group under the platform of 
Fulani Youths Advocacy for Peace in Plateau State (FYAPPS), has challenged people in the irrespective of tribe or religion belief to embrace peaceful coexistence and jettison anger, hatred, bitterness, unforgiving attitude and reprisal killings jeopardizing government and security efforts - causing anxiety, tension, suspicion and fear.

They also raised concern over what they described as "targeted attacks on herders while returning from market and grazing.

They alleged that, "from September to October, 2026, over 500 cows were rustled in Mangu, Riyom, Bassa and Barkin-Ladi, apart from those killed by heavily armed groups. Destroyed livelihoods, pushing Fulani into object poverty/penury.

"We fumed the brutal killing of Adamu Suleiman (Mato) of Mararaba Dare, Bassa LGAby Mobile Police operatives on Tuesday 19th October 2026. On 18th October 2026: Same operatives attacked herders in Mahanga area of Riyom, ransacked houses/shops, stole foodstuffs, domestic animals, robbed money.

"Aliyu Isa of Bangai village- robbed of brand new motorcycle and N300k cash, Isa Alh Nyako of Dogo village, Barkin Ladi, among others", they mentioned.

They further appeal to Governor Mutfwang, GOC 3 Division/Commander Operation Enduring Peace (OEP), Commissioner of Police, Director DSS  to immediately investigate and bring to book operatives responsible for extra-judicial killings, robbery, destruction - capable of plunging state into deeper crisis.

"We're not against security agencies doing lawful duties but must be within confines of law, not endangering innocent Fulani.

"We called on government at all levels and security agencies to redouble efforts in combating attacks on herders by overzealous operatives and armed groups emboldened by failure to apprehend them.

"We called on  Fulani Community as law-abiding group to remain calm, avoid self-help or taking law into their hands and continue to trust security agencies and the government.

The group appreciates governor Mutfwang's concerned, empathy as he included affected herders in the list of beneficiaries of N1.5 billion intervention by the wife of the president, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and the Plateau State government.

Mutfwang has not abandoned Fulani as constantly engaging leaders, yielding positive results. Urged Fulani to desist from acts escalating tension.
