Why Bokkos Women Set Ablaze The Palace Of Their King by scuba3(m): 9:37pm On Jan 05
Earlier on, there was a thread that appeared on the front page about setting ablaze of a monarchs palace by Bokkos women in plateau state. However, there was no story about that actually transpired. This is the true story.
Angry Bokkos Women Mob set ablaze the palace of Bokkos District Head, Saf Adanchin.

The women paid a protest to the STF command and the DPO of police in Bokkos to register their pleasure over the serial arrests of Bokkos indigene on the heels of two Fulani corpses found dead by unidentified persons in Bokkos.

The Bokkos Progressive Youths had issued an earlier statement lamenting the bias of the security operatives before today's incident.

The statement reads;

BOKKOS PROGRESSIVE YOUTHS
5TH JANUARY 2024

HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE BY THE MILITARY IN BOKKOS L.G.A. OF PLATEAU STATE, NIGERIA.

It is with pain in our hearts that we write to address you concerning the continuous violation of Human Rights by the military sent to foil the attacks that started on 23rd December 2023 in Bokkos Local Government of Plateau State, Nigeria.
Since the sad event happened, we have witnessed continuous arrest, detention, and brutalization of victims who managed to escape the horror of the attackers. In most cases, these victims have suffered incapacitation and bullet wounds from the same army who are supposed to protect them.
The rate of this violation has taken a dramatic dimension since Wednesday 3rd January, 2024 with the continuous dehumanizing and brutal treatment meted out on our youths(All of Christian Faith and IDPs) on account of a corpse suspected to be a Fulani found somewhere. While we condemn all criminality in whatever guise, we are quick to mention here that the manner of operation by the military seems to target a particular faith.
While we still mourn the death of over two hundred people in Bokkos ( All of Christian Faith) over the attacks the military in Bokkos failed to contain, even when they had prior intelligence from the Governor of the State (As mentioned by Sen. Abdullah I Ningi on the floor of the National Assembly), the failure to make any substantial arrest even after it happened is a matter of concern to us. We are shocked to see the manner of dehumanizing and brutal treatment meted out to these innocent people over the alleged killing of a Fulani. We are forced to ask these questions:
1. How many terrorist (of whom their faith is known to you) have you arrested and dehumanized like this over the genocide in Bokkos?

2. Is a Fulani's life more important than other Nigerians?

3. When has the Nigerian Military ceded its role of protecting territorial integrity to arrest and incapacitation of innocent civilians?
Arrest and investigation is purely a Police affair. They should quickly excuse themselves and allow police to do their constitutional duty.

4. What happens to the military gadgets and equipment meant to assist in times like this? Are they all not in good condition at the time of these attacks?
And they can only be available when possibly it's the other way?
These are questions that demand answers.

We are fast losing our confidence in the Nigerian Military to be fair to all.
Again, we must add that these attacks happened in our villages, currently, our people cannot access their farms to irrigate their farms, we thought the military would have carried out clearance operations in those villages so that people could at least access their farms, but the issue is the reverse. The concentration of the military is in Bokkos town, showing their might on the victims of attacks while the remnants and crops of the victims are either looted or burnt by the terrorists.

The truth is out.

This is the same scenario that plays out every where these fulanis carry out their atrocious deeds.

Seems they have relocated from southern Kaduna to the plateau since the CDS would come for them in furry.

But for the proliferation of arms in the south East, these bandits would have been having a field day in the east by now. At least IPOB/ESN has some advantages.
