Mangu Attacks: Death toll hits 28, MDA demands sustained military action

The Mwaghavul Development Association (MDA) has strongly condemned a series of recent attacks targeting communities within Mwaghavul land, in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State. The association reported that 28 people were killed in separate assaults on the Bin Mper and Murish communities.

In response to the escalating violence, the MDA has issued a firm call for sustained military intervention. The association emphasized the urgent need for decisive action to protect the Mwaghavul people and restore peace to the region. They believe that only a consistent and robust military presence can effectively counter the perpetrators of these attacks.

The MDA has also directed its appeal to all levels of government, urging the Federal, Plateau State, and local authorities to make the security of the affected communities a top priority. They are demanding a comprehensive approach that includes not only military action but also measures to support the displaced and rebuild the affected areas. The association stressed that the safety and well-being of their people depend on immediate and effective governmental response.
