Benue, Plateau Genocides, CRA says ISWAP in control of 80 communities


… cautions FG on cosmetic approach.

By Gabriel Udeh

The Christian Rights Agenda, CRA, has said on Sunday, it is watching events in Benue, Plateau and other troubled spots in Nigeria in the renewed terror attacks where the lives of Christians and other innocent Nigerians have become endangered with keen interest.
There has been renewed attacks in Benue and Plateau in the last three weeks which has claimed several lives, properties, and rendered several people homeless.


These attacks, according to CRA appear to be well coordinated and has the trappings of a terrorism by insurgents who are bent on fostering a regime of violence, religious intolerance and total anarchy.


This is unacceptable stated CRA in a statement.
Reverend Kallamu Musa Dikwa, Secretary-General of CRA disclosed that, already officials of
the organization have been sent on field operations to Benue, Plateau and Borno states to gather first-hand information on the extent of devastation suffered by Christians in the affected areas.

Preliminary report from the field indicates that over 80 communities have been taken over by the Fulani terrorist.


He said his organization is in the process of collating information to have an up-to-date data of the persecution Nigerian Christians are facing, especially in northern Nigeria.


While commending the new matching order given to security operatives by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step up their game, CRA cautioned that such orders should go beyond its optics and ensure that the orders are followed and defaulters are sanctioned as a deterrent to other saboteurs.
The statement also cautioned state governors not to politicize the renewed killings but should be honourable enough to call a spade by its real name.
