According to intelligence reports, the leader of the Militias who hails from Rankum (Mahanga) of Riyom County, just returned from Zamfara State, where he secured the assistance of Bandits that are attacking Plateau villages. The same leader also held talks with a high-profile political appointee who was enjoined to apply for immunity against a likely arrest warrant for himself. He is believed to be a “person of interest” as all accusing fingers are pointing at him regarding the continuing violence in the State and Middle-Belt at large.
His visit to Zamfara was not only to appreciate the Bandits deployed, but also to hire more mercenaries for the invasion of Plateau. The leaders of the raids believe banditry will make them security situation in the State worse after the Sallah celebration.
WAR CRY: “THE LAST BATTLE”
Residents of Mangu, Barkin Ladi,Bassa and Riyom LGAs must be on extra RED ALERT as the attackers declared the impending invasions as the “Last Battle” with no going back from inflicting higher casualty on the named villages even if all of them (the Bandits/Militias) will go down to the grave.
They have also declared, “No Harvest” in Mangu, Barkin Ladi and Riyom (Counties) , for there will be intense destruction of farmlands, especially during late evening and midnight hours.
Their belief is that No Nigerian military or police will dare attempt to arrest any of the terrorists if they (security) love their lives.
