Plateau Killings: Army Nabs 17 Suspects
The Nigerian Army has revealed that they have arrested 17 people in connection with the killing of over 100 people in several villages in Plateau state.
Army Spokesman, Major Adam Umar said three of the arrests were linked to killings in the Barkin Ladi area, while the other 14 were arrested in connection with the deaths of travellers in the south of the state capital, Jos.
“We all know that some days back, some villages in Barkin Ladi were attacked and these three suspects were arrested in connection with that,” Umar said. “As our men were repelling the attacks in those areas, we arrested these three suspects with four rifles, three locally made guns and one AK47,” he added.
The clashes are rooted in tensions over access to land between the pastoral herders and sedentary farmers but have also generated sectarian friction between Muslims and Christians.
Police and army reinforcements have been sent to Plateau to improve security, while a dusk-to-dawn curfew remained in place in areas of the state to restore calm.
At least 86 persons were confirmed killed by suspected herdsmen during the attack on Gashish district of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state last weekend.
