The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan-Kukah, says the repeated and unending killings on the Plateau is beyond herder-farmer clashes, adding that the murderers “want their own kind of Nigeria according to their ideology”.

The cleric, in a statement on Saturday, charged the government to resist the agenda of the marauders and protect Nigerians.

The cleric, in unambiguous terms, condemned the blood-curling simultaneous attacks by assailants on communities in the Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of the Plateau State on Christmas eve.

The attacks have so far claimed over 200 lives with hundreds of houses and farmlands burnt.

Kukah labelled the marauders as “sons of Satan” who “opted to extinguish and snatch the light of the joy of Christmas from thousands of people on the Plateau”.


“There is a method to this madness,” he said in the pensive statement sent to our correspondent by his spokesman, Chris Omotosho. “The choice of location, communities, timings, the seeming hooded identities of the killers mask a fact: we may not know who they are, but someone wants something from the Middle Belt. Stretch your imagination from the emergence of the modern Nigerian state and connect the dots”.

‘A War Is Being Waged Against Nigeria’
According to the fiery cleric, a war is being waged against Nigeria by the enemies of the country.

“We may pretend that we are not at war, but truly, a war is being waged against the Nigerian state and its people. God forbid, but we could snap anytime, anywhere and for any reason,” he said.

“By the banks of the Niger river, on the hills of the Plateau, across the lush savannah of the middle belt, we have sat down and wept.



“We have questions crying for answers: Who are these killers? Where are they coming from? Who is sponsoring them? What are their grouses and against whom? What do they want? Whom do they want? Who are they working for? When will it all end? Why are they invincible and invisible? Who is offering them cover?” he lamented.

Kukah further bemoaned why the north has become “the incubator of all that is destructive? Boko Haram, Banditry and shades of terrorism all live in our region”.

“Can we continue to believe that there is no long-term plan to take over the reins of power of the Nigerian state? These people want power. They want it on their own terms. They want their own kind of Nigeria according to their ideology.

“These killings are just a preface. These killings are no longer acts by herders and farmers over grazing fields. No, there is more and we as a nation will do well to face this threat before it is sunset. No evil lasts forever. The world defeated Slavery, Apartheid, Nazism, Racism, and forms of extremism,” he said.


Kukah said rebuilding the affected communities required more than mere physical infrastructure. “There is need for clearer, more imagined strategies for rebuilding community cohesion and resilience. Rebuilding hearts is more urgent than rebuilding houses,” he said.

According to him, the military cannot continue to suffer intelligence failure. “There is an urgent need to re-set the national security architecture. Enough is enough,” Kukah asserted, adding that the culture of investigation as excuses must end.

He said if investigations are made public and rewards or punishment are carried out, then it builds confidence.

No difference with what Kukah said & what MNK said. That these guys want to takeover Nigeria.



How do you attack & murder defenceless villagers in their sleep unprovoked?
These guy are barbarians, no humanity @ all.

Too many innocent Blood crying for justice. And you expect such a person to be successful

Let's learn from Israel and apply to the Nigerian hama terrorist.


Simple as ABC.... No long cap

Nonsense!

People have been killed in these same locations 30 years ago, 20 years ago and 10 years ago.

The killings will only be comdenmed but it doesn't stop it from recurring.
People will still be killed in bokkos and Barkin ladi in 5 or 10 years from now.
Nigerians have the shortest memory among humans all-over the world.
Nonsense!

PDP must be investigated over the killings.

Meanwhile, the 21 Ajaokuta kidnapped victims rescued within 48 hours, this is to show you how powerful governors are. Governor Yahyah Bello didn't run to Abuja to cry but rather chased the kidnappers.

Jihad is not a new thing. It has been happening for centuries.

Despite the mass shooting that happens in USA, their police force do arrive within 15 minutes. Compare that to Nigeria where 100 muslim terrorists will go on killing spree for 7 hours and no polce/army will show up. DSS that should provide intelligence and uncover such plot is busy arresting a christian that condemned the murder of Deborah by muslim terrorists.
The Bishop mentioned timing of the attacks. Fact is jihadists have hijacked the security system of Nigeria.

Fulanis in conjunction with the hausa Mozlems are trying to land grab (conquer) the entire middle belt from the Christians by force, because in the north, once you're identified as a Christian your life is in danger

The Nigerian government is an expert in condemning terrorism yet clueless in taking action.

They are already coming for Kuka's head. The terrorists & their lower muslims supporters are sad about the exposition

What they are doing in the MB is genocide, ethnic cleansing & religious supremacy grabbing lands of the indigenes on the basis of Islamic indoctrinattions

is this guy ok 🙄 ? Why investigate PDP are you saying that APC was behind all the killings during Jonathan ?

PDP lost Pleateau state on Monday...
Plateau fell into chaos on Tuesday...

If your head was calm and your heart wasn't beating with hatred and fear, maybe you would have noticed..

No sane person will not agree that the wanton bloodshed and killings in the middle belt states of Benue, Plateau and Nasarawa especially are all tied down to subjugation, annihilation and occupation by fanatic jihadists. Let a war of self defense start immediately. Government is never gonna protect the inhabitants of these places.

Of course! ".....The Fu­lani causing security problems in the country were.......Influx of Fulani from neighboring countries like Sierra Leone, Mali, Senegal, Niger and Chad brought into the country for election purposes in 2015.

After the election, the Fu­lani have refused to leave. I and other like minds wrote and warned those we started APC with that this was going to hap­pen but nobody listened,”

Don't mind those terrorists sympathisers. If someone start protesting against the government in any particular location, it won't take the security forces minutes to disperse them.
They keep saying herders farmers clashes, while codely stealing people's ancestral lands.
It's countries like Israel that fits those barbarians.

That's just the truth.

Villagers ought to have local vigilante funded and armed by their community.
