Following the incessant killings of unarmed rural community dwellers in Nigeria by rampaging terrorists, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to intervene and stop the attacks in Plateau State and to empower defenceless communities.

In a statement on Sunday, signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Tukur Muhammad-Baba, the socio-political group said: “ACF reiterates its long-standing stance that every new such experience is one too many. Clearly, the people are in great pain, with their situation compounded by existential economic challenges.

“The killing spree on the Plateau must be stopped immediately, and peace must return to the State,” ACF said.

It says also: “The Forum identifies with the deep pains of families of the victims, prays to God to grant the deceased eternal rest, for surviving victims to be fortified with strength to bear the losses and for quick return to full health for all who suffered injuries.”

On how to resolve the killings, the group advised the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Plateau State Government to relate with and empower communities and other stakeholders. “Citizens should avail the security agencies with credible information on the activities of insurgents and criminals; and members of the National Assembly to do more to hold the FGN and the national security agencies to account and to demand concrete evidence of a firm resolve to exterminate the current terror on citizens,” ACF said.
