Christian leaders under the aegis of Denominational Heads and Spiritual Fathers in Plateau State have said there’s more to the renewed killings<\/a> in the state than meet the eyes. <\/p>\n

This is as they decried the the wanton killings which they described as an \u201cact of genocide against innocent and harmless villagers\u201d. <\/p>\n

According to reports, about 130 people were killed, about 1000 houses and 22 churches were burnt, and about 22 villages were affected.<\/p>\n

They charged the government and security agencies to immediately stop this ongoing massacre.<\/p>\n

The group in a statement, yesterday, in Jos, signed on its behalf by the Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, President, Rev. Stephen Panya, among others, said: \u201cWe are very deeply saddened by the resurgence of mindless killings of innocent citizens, mainly Christians, in Mangu and Riyom Local Government Areas of Plateau State. The killings which started in Mangu villages, Plateau state, Nigeria on Monday, 15th May 2023 by so-called unknown gunmen have claimed many lives and properties with many persons still missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe villages affected include Fungzai, Hale, Kubwat, Bwoi and many other communities of Kombun District of Mangu Local Government Area and some communities in Riyom Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the Church Denominational Leaders and Spiritual Fathers on the Plateau, view this round of killings and destruction as devilish, barbaric and an act of genocide against innocent and harmless villagers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis again is another sad commentary on the unabated bloodletting that has engulfed Plateau State over the years without any meaningful attempt by the government at federal and state levels to decisively address the unfortunate situation. For how long will this bloodletting continue?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe persistent attacks and killings in Plateau State continue to raise a number of questions: Who wants to destroy Plateau State and why? Are the killers really \u2018unknown\u2019 gunmen and why do they always have sophisticated weapons and enough time to wreak havoc on innocent citizens? What has happened to those arrested in previous attacks? Are the security agencies in Plateau handicapped?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we must move forward as a peaceful, united and democratic nation, then these and many other questions must be answered through a deliberate action by the government to bring these killings to an end and restore peace and tranquillity in Plateau State and other troubled parts of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the Church Leaders and Spiritual Fathers are calling on the government and all security agencies to immediately stop this ongoing massacre and its spread to more communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also urge relevant emergency management agencies to urgently provide shelter and relief materials to the affected communities and bring them much-needed succour. We implore spirited individuals, groups, and organizations to also come to the aid of these devastated communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on citizens to remain calm and peaceful in the face of this unwarranted persecution and trust that government and its relevant agencies will immediately restore normalcy and build confidence in the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commiserate with families that have lost their loved ones and pray for God\u2019s comfort and healing and restoration to all those injured. The church must not relent in praying to God for his divine intervention, inner strength and perseverance for the people of Plateau State. Let us hold on to God\u2019s promises and fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-3)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
