Senator Diket Satso Plang, representing Plateau Central, has issued an urgent call to action to address the recent attacks in Bokkos and Mangu. In an interview on April 7, 2025, Plang expressed deep concern over the violence, which resulted in over 50 deaths and numerous displacements in Manguna, Bokkos LGA. He emphasized that the limit of tolerance has been reached, necessitating immediate action to protect the people.
Plang strongly condemned the attacks, describing them as unacceptable and sad. The senator highlighted the absence of access roads and network coverage in affected villages, making communication during emergencies challenging.
Plang urged the government to take decisive action, including establishing military bases at flashpoints and securing entry points used by criminals. He pledged to join hands with his people to defend them, emphasizing that they will not tolerate displacement or abandonment of their ancestral lands.
The senator commended the resilience of the people of Plateau State, who have shown remarkable restraint in the face of violence. He acknowledged the efforts of security personnel and expressed gratitude for the support from the Chief of Defence Staff. However, he emphasized that more needs to be done to address the root causes of the crisis and ensure lasting peace.
Plang’s quotes underscore his commitment to the people of Plateau State. He said, “I will join hands with my people to defend them.” “The limit of tolerance has been reached.” “We will not tolerate our people staying in IDP camps without going back to their homes.”
Plang’s call to action underscores the need for a unified effort from governments at all levels to combat the prevailing unrest in Plateau State. His commitment to aiding those affected and ensuring prompt government intervention is a step towards addressing the crisis.
