The TEKAN\/ECWA bloc of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said on Monday that it lost 85 people in the recent bloody attack in Jabbu Miango communities in Bassa Local Government Areas of Plateau State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The TEKAN\/ECWA Bloc Leader, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Plateau State, Very Rev Moses Ebuga, while addressing press conference in Jos, called for the removal of the General Officer Commanding 3rd Division of the Nigerian, who is also the Commander, Operation Safe Haven, Major General Ibrahim Ali, for taken side with the attackers and lack of confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Christians killed in Irigwe land are touching. Recently, the Irigwe Irigwe land in Bassa LGA of Plateau State has been in the news, over killings and destructions by Fulani herdsmen in the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018We would like to use this medium to give a report of what has happened as observed and recorded by the Church. From July 30th to August 17, 2021, over 85 persons were killed, 55 hospitalised, 3141 houses burnt and about 2901 farms destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Also, 5901 families displaced, more than 26 villages destroyed Ann in 26 communities. Christians, especially our bloc on the Plateau, cannot remain silent while it\u2019s members and properties are destroyed by the killer Fulani herders and militias, with no or less efforts by the government to stop these evil acts.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Rev. Ebuga noted with dismay how some prominent Islamic scholars confessed their intention to retaliate and attack Christians on the Plateau following the unfortunate incidence of Rukuba road in Jos North Local Government Area where some commuters were killed by hoodlums.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u2018The GOC of the third 3rd Division of the Nigerian Army who doubles as the Commander Operation Safe Haven in the person of Major General Ibrahim Ali has not lived to expectation. The military barracks being and situate in the self-same Bassa LGA and within a few kilometers radius lie under attacks for long hours and days without any response and protection from the Army this leaves much to be desired any reasonable and security presence by their proximity and neighbourliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018As a result of these spade of insecurity, we have lost confidence in his ability to handle to security situation in Plateau State and therefore call on the Nigerian Army headquarters to relieve him of these responsibilities forthwith and strongly advice that no one officer should again be made to hold these dual responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018The Fellowship of Churches also calls on the Federal Government and all security agencies as matter of urgency to be responsible to their duties as the security and protection of lives and properties are the primary responsibility of every government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018We are calling on the security agents in the state to be sincere and non-partisan in the pursuit of their responsibilities, as it seems to favor a selective few or particular group, we decry selective justice and imposition of grave injustice on the peace-loving community dwellers in Plateau State and such still remains highly unacceptable,\u2019 he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
