Reactions continue to flow in over recent attacks and killings of locals, including women and children, by gunmen suspected to be Fulani militiamen in the Mangu Council area of Plateau State.
About 200 people are believed to have lost their lives in the attack,with many properties destroyed.
The attack has continues unabated across 34 villages in the Mangu local government area and environs for days now.
The leadership and members of the Plateau Youth Council come out in large numbers to protest these attacks and killing of locals.

The group says the attacks and killings are acts of terrorism aimed at uprooting native villages and communities.

They claim the leadership of the Special Taskforce has been compromised and is now supporting the attackers in the area against the natives.
They want the immediate removal of the STF and its replacement with a mobile police force that they believe is not biased.
