Residents of Bokkos local government in Plateau State have expressed delight to the Federal and State Governments for the delivery of prompt relief to victims of violent attacks on the community by gunmen.

The people also applauded the intervention of Senator Diket Plang (Plateau Central) for bringing immediate relief.

Chairman Bokkos Cultural Development Council (BCDC) Vanguard Barr. Farmasum Fuddang and Secretary Duwam Bosco in a statement explained: “Bokkos Cultural Development Council (BCDC) Vanguard expresses deep gratitude to the federal government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Plateau State Government under Governor Caleb Mutfwang for their interventions following the recent attacks in Bokkos Local Government Area.

“Your support has provided reassurance during these challenging times. However, we wish to emphasize the extent of the destruction caused by these heinous attacks and humbly appeal for additional assistance for the many victims left helpless and hopeless”

The community particularly commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his swift response, which included deploying troops to address the violence and sending humanitarian aid through the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.”

The community however noted though the interventions provided have been beneficial, they are inadequate in addressing the extensive damage caused.

“The attacks on April 2 alone resulted in over 50 deaths, more than 18 injuries, over 4,000 displaced camping in at least two IDP camps in Hurti, Bokkos, Gwande etc, over 180 home destructions etc.

“It is worth mentioning, that more than 25,000 people have been displaced by various attacks over the past two years, with many still unable to return home. The recent attacks and the repercussions will take years to overcome.

“Survivors of these attacks deserve greater support; this is their right. The government’s primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and welfare of its citizens. Failure to protect them, despite advance warnings and existing intelligence resources, places responsibility for these attacks on the government.

“The victims, who have contributed to the establishment of government through their votes, deserve justice and compensation for their losses, including the deaths of breadwinners and loved ones. Equally important is the recovery of ancestral lands that have been seized and occupied by foreign elements with extremist ideologies and terrorist intentions”.

“Neglecting these needs risks eroding public confidence in the government, potentially leading to reduced civic engagement or even unrest,” they said.
