Plateau Youth Group Disagrees with Committee Findings on Crisis Causes

The Plateau Youth VOPI challenges the report of a fact-finding committee led by Gen. Roger Ib Nichola, disagreeing with the notion that farmer-herder clashes are the main cause of the ongoing crisis in Plateau State.

The group argues that the attacks are orchestrated by Fulani militias aiming for land grab and jihadist expansion, potentially leading to genocide. They criticize the committee's findings and emphasize the need to address the root causes of the violence over the past two decades.

The group's statement highlights a different perspective on the conflict, focusing on historical patterns of attacks and communal displacement.
