Hon Daniel Asama, lawmaker representing BassaJos North Federal Constituency
A lawmaker, Daniel Asama, says security agencies are aware of the whereabouts of the masterminds of the recent killings in Plateau, describing the attacks as genocidal.
Over 100 people have been killed in the last two weeks in Plateau, a situation, Asama said, is devastating.
“The security agencies know where these attacks have been coming from. They know the direction from which these attacks have been coming. The people in the community can show them the routes,” the lawmaker representing Bassa/Jos North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives said on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.
“I am saying that the security operatives, if they talk to the people, will know where the attackers are coming from. I don’t believe exactly that they do not know where these people are coming from,” he said.
The Labour Party (LP) chieftain said the killings have led to the displacement of communities and likened it to land grabbing. (Channels TV)
