The Mwaghavul ethnic nationality in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State has lamented the loss of over 600 lives to herdsmen attacks on their communities over the past two years.
According to the ethnic group, more than 65,000 villagers have also been displaced and 6,111 houses destroyed as a result of the attacks.
The National President of the Mwaghavul Youth Movement, Kyesmang Yusuf, stated this on Friday.
Mwaghavul has been at the epicentre of recent terrorist attacks that have ravaged several parts of the state.
Plateau State was recently in the news following the killings and burning of houses and property in Bokkos, Barkin Ladi and Mangu local government areas.
“The unprovoked attacks on the Mwaghavul nation have resulted in the sacking of over 30 villages out of 103 affected communities, displacement of over 65,000 villagers, grounding of 6,111 houses and immense loss of over 600 lives, aside from properties.
“For two years, the Fulani terrorists have neither shown any form of remorse for their atrocities nor regard for human life. Rather, they have continued to target innocent Mwaghavul people either on their farms or anywhere outside our land,” Yusuf said. Punch
