Child Protection Network Condemns Killings of Children and families in Plateau Communities

By Israel Adamu, Jos 

The Plateau State Coordinator for the Child Protection Network (CPN), Mrs. Sandra Chikan, has strongly condemned recent attacks on communities in Bokkos and Bassa local government areas of the state.

Over the past 10 days, more than 100 people, including children, have been killed in these attacks across both local government councils.

In a press release issued to journalists in Jos, Mrs. Chikan expressed deep concern that such attacks are becoming increasingly frequent.

 The Non-Governmental Organization highlighted that many victims are innocent children who are specifically targeted.

“It is tragic that these senseless attacks continue to occur, where individuals, including children, are brutally killed,” she stated. 

“What is happening in Plateau State is a catastrophe that must end immediately.

 The bloodshed of innocent civilians, particularly children who are vulnerable targets, is unconscionable and has no place in any civilized society.”

The CPN called on security agencies to take immediate and decisive action to apprehend the perpetrators and ensure they face justice. 

The organization also urged all levels of government to implement proactive measures to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further loss of life.

The Child Protection Network reaffirmed its commitment to supporting and advocating for children’s rights in Plateau State.

 The organization pledged to address cases of child trafficking, molestation, abuse, and other harmful practices.

This is the time to strengthen our resolve. It is the time to collaborate, unite, and confront the pressing issues affecting our children.
