Mr. Peter Obi, has decried the latest wave of brutal attacks in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, where entire families, including children and pregnant women, were reportedly slaughtered in multiple communities.
In a strongly worded statement on Saturday, Obi described the situation as “an unending gory story in our land,” expressing deep distress over the continued bloodshed in Mangor Tamiso, Daffo, Manguna, Hurti, and Tadai communities.
“How long will these killings, kidnapping, maiming, and criminality continue in our nation that is not at war?” Obi questioned, adding that the normalization of mass killings and burials in Nigeria is unacceptable.
He called on the federal government and security agencies to act decisively, ensure justice for victims, and implement concrete preventive measures to avoid future atrocities.
“No Nigerian should live in fear,” Obi said. “The government must do what it takes to protect Nigerians. Communities like Bokkos in Plateau, Jato-Aka in Benue, Eha-Amufu in Enugu, Ufuma in Anambra, and Aba Oyinbo in Ondo deserve government protection.”
Obi emphasized that every Nigerian life is sacred, regardless of geography, and reiterated his belief that “A New Nigeria is POssible.”
