Terrorists Send Letter To Plateau Community For Another Attack

Jos, Plateau State – Residents of Pushit community in Mangu Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State, are on high alert following the reception of a threatening letter from an alleged terrorist group warning of an imminent attack scheduled for December 29.

It would be recalled that over 150 people were killed after terrorists attacked villages in Plateau state from Dec. 23 to Dec. 25.

Dr Stanley Kavwam, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Middle Belt Forum, disclosed this to the newsmen.

Kavwam said the letter warned that the residents of Pushit in Manga would be attacked on Dec. 29, days after terrorists attacked other communities and killed over 150 residents.

“I received a call that a letter was sent to my own village by the terrorists that the attackers are going to invade on the 29th of this December.”

According to him, the terrorists dropped letters to other communities warning of previous attacks on those communities before they happened and the security authorities did nothing to prevent the attacks.

He explained that after receiving the letter from the terrorists, residents called security agencies but nothing was done.

“They received about thirty-seven distress calls, yet nothing was done,” Kavwam said.

He noted that all the casualties of the terrorist attacks “are in communities inhabited by Christians.”

“The security forces know the attackers. They even know their hideout, For the past two decades, they know where they orchestrate all of these attacks,” he alleged.

Kavwam said the attacks are still going on, and there has been no response from the security authorities.
