Following a recent attack in Bokkos LGA of Plateau state where a monarch was killed, another attack has taken place at a settlement in the same Local Government Area Wednesday night.

In response, youth of the local government area barricaded all access routes to the council Thursday morning.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, the convoy of the Plateau State commissioner of police, Adekunle Oladunjoye, which was on its way to the area, was stopped but was later allowed entry into Bokkos after pleadings by the Commissioner.

The leader of the youth group, Jibrin Malau, a physically-challenged man on wheelchair, said they would not allow soldiers provide security to their people anymore.

One youth, Peters Marren, said in an interview, “We don’t want soldiers again, because the community that was attacked yesterday night (Wednesday) is behind a military base, why didn’t they give the community protection?”

“Soldiers are betrayers, we will not allow soldiers into our villages, they are aiding the killings. They were there when Danan community was set on fire, the armed men destroyed, injured and kill our people. Soldiers must go, we want them replaced with mobile police,” he said.

According to the youths, only four houses are left in Danan community. Marren, also confirmed that one of the victims was a 10-year-old boy.
