FG calls to intervene in the Jos crisis

From: our reporter, Jos.

A human right organization, based in Jos wants federal government’s quick intervention into the crisis that erupted in the capital city of plateau state which it described as madness.

Acting director of the organization, Gad Peters says the call has become necessary in view of the fact that the soldiers on the street are not helping matters with their reckless and indiscriminate shootings.

According to him, “it is on record that a number of persons have been killed from the bullets of Nigerian Soldiers. To make matters worse, I strongly think that our security agents have been overwhelmed by the current situation on the plateau”.

He said there has been report of a lot of fake soldiers in town therefore making it difficult to ascertain who the real people killing innocent citizens are.

He was of the opinion that, if the federal government had punished or prosecuted the perpetrators of the previous crises in the state, we wouldn't have been going through what we are going through now.

We strongly put the blame of the Sunday morning attack on Churches, on the security agencies, state and the federal government. We demand for the prosecution of all those alleged hoodlums and their faceless sponsors of this very crisis and previous once.
