“What I can tell you is the killings in Plateau and the attacks in recent times are pure acts of terrorism.”
According to Muftwang, the earlier Nigeria deals with these attacks, the better as he claimed those sponsoring terrorism are known.
“I believe that the sponsors of the terrorists, the financiers of the terrorists, and those who arm the terrorists are known.
“And the security agencies know them or they have the capacity to know them. And that is why we are insisting that the security agencies must do their work, which is to protect lives and properties,” he said
Recall that over 200 people were killed in recent attacks in the middle belt state with many rendered homeless.
