Subject: Urgent Security Advisory for Plateau State and Surrounding Areas
Attention: Residents of Plateau State and neighboring regions

TruthNigeria has received credible intelligence indicating that certain individuals, believed to be ranking members of the Fulani ethnicity in Plateau State, are mobilizing mercenaries from northern states including Kaduna, Bauchi, Zamfara, and Nasarawa. This alarming development suggests potential coordinated invasions targeting the following villages and communities in the central and northern regions of Plateau:

1. Jol in Riyom local government (county)

2. Sho in Barkin Ladi county

3. Kwi in Riyom county

4. Heipang in Barkin Ladi county

5. Rakok in Barkin Ladi  county

6. Takok in Barkin Ladi 

7. Rakung in Barkin Ladi 

8. Mai-Hakori Gold in Bokkos county

9.  Maikatako in Bokkos county

10. Chikam in Bokkos

11. Kwatas in Bokkos

12. Mbar in Bokkos

13. Dorowa Babuje in Barkin Ladi 

14. Sagas area of Fan in Barkin Ladi 

15. Sopp in Riyom 

16. Kakuruk & Kuzen of Gashish in Barkin Ladi 

17. Mangun in Mangu LGA 

18. Bwall in Qua’an-pan LGA 

Additionally, communities in the neighboring state of Nasarawa, particularly those bordering the Dajin Matan Gwamna forest, which connects with the Pandang Game Reserve in Quaanpan, may also be at risk.

Reports indicate that several groups of armed terrorists are currently camped within the expansive game reserve (over 200 square kilometers). Despite efforts by soldiers of Operation Safe Haven to dislodge these groups in the past two months, intelligence suggests that their operations have been largely ineffective due to the superior firepower possessed by the bandit terrorists, who are believed to have migrated from the northwestern states of Zamfara and Sokoto.

Action Required:

– Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to local authorities immediately.

– It is advisable to avoid travel to the identified vulnerable areas until further notice.

– Community leaders are encouraged to coordinate with security forces to enhance local defenses and ensure the safety of residents.

We advise all residents to stay informed and prepared as the situation develops.

Stay Safe.
