Nigerian Bar Association Warns of Anarchy in Plateau State
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) condemned the ongoing and horrific attacks on citizens in Plateau State, warning that these persistent assaults could lead to anarchy and a breakdown of law and order. During a press briefing in Jos, the NBA highlighted recent attacks in Mangu, Barkin Ladi, Riyom, and Bokkos Local Government Areas, which have resulted in numerous deaths and injuries.
The statement, signed by Morgan I. Dung (Chairman of the Jos Branch), Selven D. Zingman (Chairman of the Pankshin Branch), Lucy Pam-Fom Bot (Chairwoman of the Bukuru Branch), and Sylvia Kumtong (Chairwoman of the Shendam Branch), expressed discontent with the government's lack of responsiveness to protect lives and property. The NBA noted that attacks continued despite a dusk-to-dawn curfew, with terrorists disregarding the order.
The association emphasized the troubling cycle of violence and the implications of a perceived inability of the state to ensure safety for its citizens.
