Mwaghavul Development Association Rejects Militia Claims
The Mwaghavul Development Association (MDA) issued a statement denying allegations that it operates a militia or collaborates with the Department of State Services (DSS) to attack Fulani communities in Plateau State. The MDA described these allegations as false and part of a media campaign aimed at discrediting security agencies working to restore peace in the region.
Signed by Director of Public Affairs Friday Derwam, the statement commended the DSS for its fair-minded approach to security operations. The MDA expressed concern over changing tactics by violent groups, particularly the use of social media to spread inflammatory claims against security personnel.
The association rejected narratives suggesting that Mwaghavul youths were collaborating with the DSS and Operation Rainbow to attack Fulani residents. The MDA emphasized that it does not maintain a militia and urged media organizations to verify claims related to the Plateau conflict to avoid spreading misinformation.
