Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff.<\/p>\n<p>This followed after over a hundred people were killed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/12\/31\/service-chiefs-matawale-arrive-jos-over-plateau-killings\/\">terrorist attacks on Christmas Eve<\/a> that targeted over twenty localities in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking Sunday night on Channels Television, Lagbaja stated that either Sunday night or Monday morning the soldiers would come in the state.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI have reeled out our plans for 2024 for Plateau State. The troops that we are deploying to Plateau, are on their way to Plateau now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis night or first light tomorrow, they should be on the Plateau. We are sending more equipment to enhance the efficiency of the troops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to the claims of fresh attacks in the state, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/10\/11\/army-chief-flags-off-military-exercise-across-nigeria-to-tackle-insecurity\/\">Army Chief<\/a> said that during his visit on Sunday, he was not given any such information.<\/p>\n<p>He related incidents in which a local government chairman and a few citizens had sent off false alarms.<\/p>\n<p>Lagbaja said, \u201cThe GOC brought up a situation where a chairman of a local government alleged that two communities were under attack and he sent troops there and it turned out to be false.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTroops have received false alarms and so many other reports that are not true. I just came back from Plateau, I did not get the report of a renewed attack from anywhere. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lagbaja, however, faulted calls in some quarters for Plateau State residents to bear firearms, noting that doing so could lead to anarchy.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI do not support that. I think that is a call for anarchy. The Nigerian Army is the peoples\u2019 Army. It is organised, equipped, and funded with people\u2019s funds. When we have a situation where people freely use arms, then it becomes a lawless state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must tell you unequivocally that the military is equal to the task on the Plateau. What happened was a political, wrongly managed conflict that snowballed on Christmas Day, and we are working to address it going forward. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>He assured all that the Army would intensify efforts to ensure peace returns to troubled parts of the country in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2024, I am promising Nigerians that troops will redouble their efforts and we will expand the frontiers of peace and stability across the country, \u201d Lagbaja said.<\/p>\n<p>Lagbaja; Air Marshall Hassan Abubakar, Chief of Air Staff; Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, Chief of Naval Staff; Bello Matawalle, Minister of State for Defence; and Dr. Betta Edu, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, arrived in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.<\/p>\n<p>They are scheduled to tour the impacted communities of Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi, where bandits attacked and murdered more than a hundred people on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n<p>They are visiting the attack location one day after the Senate called them in response to a motion of pressing concern regarding the killings that was made by Senator Diket Plang (APC, Plateau Central).<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the military heads, the Red Chamber also invited the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi; and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.<\/p>\n<p>The gunmen had stormed Ndun, Ngyong, Murfet, Makundary, Tamiso, Chiang, Tahore, Gawarba, Dares, Meyenga, Darwat, and Butura Kampani villages in the Barkin-Ladi, Mangu and Bokkos areas of the Plateau State, where they burnt houses and shot residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recall situations where a local government chairman and some residents raised false alarms.
