At least 346 persons have been reportedly killed within three months in eight local government areas of Plateau State, a human rights organisations, Gideon and Funmi Para-Mallam Peace Foundation, said in its report released on Thursday.

The organisation said out of the number, over 200 lives were lost to sustained violent attacks in the Mangu LGA alone as of Saturday, July 8 2023.

The Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation, Rev. Dr. Gideon Para-Mallam, who gave the figures in the report obtained by journalists in Abuja, said the killings which took place between April 17 and July 10, 2023.

He added that there were currently about 18,751 Internally Displaced Persons in 14 camps in Plateau State.

Para-Mallam, a peace advocate, said 17 people were killed in Bokkos, Mangu, 234; Barkin Ladi, 39; Riyom 36; Jos North 5; Jos North 9; Mikang 5 and Bassa 01.

He said 14 IDP camps are hosted by the Church of Christ in the Nations Local Church Councils, adding that a breakdown of the IDPs shows: 2,081 widows, 6,066 Orphans between the ages of 0-5 years old.

The activist added that old people account for 1,057 of the victims while teenagers and adult orphans were 828.

While stressing that the current harvest of deaths in the Mangu LGA must be treated with the utmost urgency it deserved, Para-Mallam said the inability of the Federal Government to tame the killings suggested looking the other way while the current inhumanity continued.

He said, “Take it or leave it, a foundation for full-blown nation-wide terrorism is being laid. No country should localise and allow acts of terror on its citizens. “Whatever the motivation behind these attacks on the Plateau, the fact remains that people are being killed in their hundreds.

“The burden of these killings should not rest only on the shoulders of the new Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Muftwang. The burden should not also rest only on the shoulders of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In fact, the burden rests on the shoulders of all Nigerians.”

Soldiers raid UNIOSUN hostels, students allege assault and seizure of phones

Military personnel from the Army Depot in Osogbo have been accused of invading student hostels at the University of Osun (UNIOSUN), allegedly assaulting students and confiscating dozens of mobile phones.   According to TheCable, the incident occurred on Monday night and affected several off-campus hostels near the university. Speaking during a visit to the affected hostels on Tuesday, Vice-Chancellor Clement Adeboye said the university had formally reported the incident to the management of the Army Depot. “We have reported to the management of the depot. It is sad that the Army Depot, located close to the campus, which we felt would give us security cover, could eventually release men that will subject our students to this kind of harrowing experience,” he said. UNIOSUN spokesperson Ademola Adesoji alleged that more than 20 students had been identified as victims of the operation. He claimed some female students reported being stripped and indecently touched by the soldiers, while several male students were also assaulted. Adesoji said two students were hospitalised following the incident, with one discharged on Tuesday morning. He further alleged that the soldiers seized more than 60 devices, including mobile phones, from the students. “Over 60 gadgets, including phones, were seized from the students. Five of the perpetrators were identified and brought to the campus this morning,” Adesoji told TheCable. “But they were later returned to the military base. The army division said they would be dismissed. “The VC has taken the matter up with the army authority. We can’t confirm the alleged rape yet.” There has been no official response from the Nigerian Army at the time of filing this report.
