The Plateau State government has blamed the Nigerian Army soldiers for failing on Monday to detain the bodies of 27 farmers in the Tahoss community in Plateau State’s Riyom Local Government Area.
Despite making contact with them during the attack, the state government held the military responsible for failing to detain or neutralize any of the suspected killer herdsmen.
Joyce Ramnap, the state’s information commissioner, said on Friday’s The Morning Brief program that “the checkpoint is barely 200 meters from where this incident occurred.”
“No one was arrested or taken into custody,” the response we received. None of the victims’ injuries were caused by anything.
The commissioner claimed that a neighborhood close to a military checkpoint-enhanced access road was the target of the vicious marauders’ attack.
The people were unable to access assistance because it was not a hidden community, she said, and we would say it was far.
“We don’t want to stereotype and claim that this case involved a complete compromise between the Army.”
However, there is room for improvement, and the governor specifically requested that at least they should be subject to some form of arrest.
The commissioner continued, “If you are that close and you engaged them closely, you should be able to say this is where they followed and what steps have been taken to arrest them, but no arrest has yet been made.”

Ramnap claimed that Plateau’s recent killings were vile and unprovoked.
She claimed that the assailants enter farms and raze all of their crops in addition to killing the people.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang, who traveled to the area on Wednesday, shared his views and called the ongoing killings of the people by bloodthirsty marauders a genocide.
She continued, “We have gallant soldiers in the country, we have them within Plateau State that are making their efforts to ensure there is peace on the Plateau, just like the governor has said.
“The attacks occurred on three distinct fronts within the community.” One side managed to contain them and prevent any further events. The side that was most likely to be hit by the people hiding out in the church was the one that was most likely, which is why we experienced that many casualties.
“At some point, the pastor of that church threatened to leave and wait for them to kill him as well.” Six people were killed right in his home when he left, and his wife followed him.
