Plateau Cleric Urges Formation of Community Militias After Deadly Attacks
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo has urged communities in Plateau State to establish local militias following recent deadly attacks in Ta-Hoss (Riyom LGA) and Sabon Layi (Barkin Ladi LGA). He expressed frustration over what he described as inadequate protection from security agencies and argued that residents can no longer rely solely on official forces to safeguard lives and property. Dachomo also alleged possible infiltration of the military by extremist elements, claims the armed forces have denied. His call has ignited nationwide debate, with some Nigerians backing stronger local security measures while others warn that any community initiative must operate within the law. The latest violence underscores the urgent need for improved security and lasting peace in Plateau State.
