PLATEAU: TROOPS REPEL ATTACK, MILITIA LEADER REPORTEDLY KILLEDTension reportedly rose in Plateau State after an armed group ambushed Nigerian troops, triggering a gun battle in which one of the attackers was neutralised. The deceased was later reportedly identified as the serving Secretary of the Mangu Youth Movement. Nobody should be allowed to turn Plateau communities into a permanent theatre of violence. Even after everything had ended, one leg still decided to remain on duty while the other had already clocked out. Jokes apart, security agencies need to get to the root of these attacks, identify those behind the violence and restore lasting peace to Plateau State.
