Security Agencies Know Sponsors, Masterminds of Plateau Attacks—Gov Mutfwang

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State disclosed on Friday that the recurrent assaults on his state should be classified as acts of terrorism, emphasizing that security agencies are aware of the perpetrators.

Mutfwang emphasized the urgency of addressing these attacks, asserting that those supporting terrorism are identifiable.

He made these remarks during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Friday, following the Supreme Court’s decision affirming his victory in the recent gubernatorial election.

The five-member panel, led by Justice Emmanuel Agim, overturned the appellate court’s decision that initially removed him from office.

The governor, addressing the recent onslaught in Plateau State that resulted in the deaths of over 200 people, expressed his belief that these incidents should be characterized as acts of terrorism.

“What I can tell you about the killings in Plateau and the attacks in recent times is that they are pure acts of terrorism.

“I believe that the sponsors of the terrorists, the financiers of the terrorists, and those who arm the terrorists are known.

“And the security agencies know them, or they have the capacity to know them. And that is why we are insisting that the security agencies must do their work, which is to protect lives and properties,” he said.
