Ahmed Musa, Super Eagles captain, has appealed for peace in Plateau following recent attacks in the state.

It was reported that gunmen killed a number of persons in a recent attack in Kwahaslalek village, Mangu Local Government Area of the state.

Musa who is in Côte dIvoire with the team at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) wrote on his X handle, calling Nigerians to live in peace.

Dear Plateau Family and Nigerians as a whole, our state is hurting, and we need to come together. The fights, the killings “ its too much.

We are all one big family, no matter our religion. Most families in Plateau have both Christians and Muslims.

We should be celebrating our differences, not fighting because of them.

Lets ask our leaders to focus on what really matters: keeping us safe and bringing back the peace we once had.

Plateau used to be known as the Home of Peace and Tourism. We want that back. So, lets stand side by side, no matter our religion.

Hold hands, pray, and ask for peace. We can do this if we all work together, he wrote.

Nigeria finished second in group A with seven points and will face Cameroon in the Round of 16 on Saturday. (NAN)
