The Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has promised residents that the surge in killings and violence across parts of the state would soon come to an end, stating that his government was intensifying efforts to restore peace and security in the state.

Speaking during an interview on News Central, Governor Caleb said, "Killings won’t continue. Let me make it very clear: we are determined to bring this to an end. Plateau cannot remain a theatre of bloodshed.

“What is happening in places like Mangu, Bokkos and Barkin Ladi are not mere communal clashes; these are acts of terrorism, and we will treat them as such.

“We believe strongly that there is a political motive behind these incidents. The timing and pattern suggest that certain interests are uncomfortable with emerging realities.

“The homogeneous communities of the Middle Belt have quietly resolved that by 2027, they will take their destinies into their own hands, and that is unsettling some elements within the political elite.”

The governor said, “We are not helpless. We are working with security agencies, we are re-strategising, and we will ensure that our people can sleep with their two eyes closed again.”

Kayode Akintemi, News Central’s Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief, reaffirmed the network’s dedication to highlighting vital national issues.

He said, “News Central is dedicated to impactful reporting. We are focused on developmental journalism and giving a voice to marginalised groups.

“We came to Plateau to amplify the voices of the people of the Middle Belt, who have suffered losses and trauma that, frankly, even some nations at war may not experience.

“Our role is to speak truth to power and ensure that the issues affecting ordinary citizens are brought to the forefront of national discourse.”
