Plateau killings: Soldiers can't stop armed herdsmen but can intercept Indian hemp - HURIWA alleges systematic genocide

The human rights organisation raised alarm of alleged systematic genocide in the State, while calling the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General, Faruk Yahaya to carry out a quick and transparent investigation to unravel how come soldiers at the Division 3 stood by and let armed Fulani herdsmen carry out systematic massacre of Christians in their villages hosting the division, while military personnel somewhere in South West under the Ibadan Military division were vigilant enough to...

The Rights group said the Chief of Army staff should guard jealously his avowed resolve to abide by the rule of law and respect the Constitutionally guaranteed Human Rights of Nigerians as he has stated in some of his earlier public statements. “HURIWA is yet to come to terms with the contradictory roles played by the officers and operatives of the Nigerian Army going by the reports that soldiers of the 32 Artillery Brigade have intercepted 132 bags of Indian hemp worth N5.8m.

“The drug lords were said to have fled into the bush and abandoned their wares.At Owo, two suspects dressed in police camouflage were allegedly caught with 50 bags of Indian hemp at Isua military checkpoint. HURIWA gathered from news report that the suspected drug traffickers were said to be on their way to deliver the goods to one Seriki in Abuja.

HURIWA said it was miffed and shocked that whereas the primary duty of the Nigerian Army as would be shown below amongst others is to prevent internal insurrection, insurgency, terrorism such as the wanton killings of Nigerians by well armed Fulani militia, “the Army in Plateau State were only a whisper away and infact they were reportedly seconds away from the marauding armed terrorists who invaded the vicinity of communities hosting the 3rd Armoured Division of the largest Army in Africa but...

HURIWA added that “what has happened in Plateau and Southern Kaduna are acts of State sponsored terrorism because in the case of Plateau State the paramount ruler of Irigwe ethnic nationality in Plateau State, His Royal Highness, The Bra Ngwe Irigwe, Rt Rev Ronku Aka, had lamented the tragedy that befell his people in the Bassa Local Government Area following the recent invasion of their communities by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen.
