Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang declared on Friday that the ongoing attacks in his state are terrorist actions, claiming that security services are aware of the perpetrators.
Mutfwang asserted that people who finance terrorism are recognized and that it is best for the country to address the attacks as soon as possible.
Speaking on Friday, the governor answered questions on the Politics Today program on Channels Television, he discussed the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold his election victory in the previous gubernatorial contest.
According to Platinum Times, the appellate court’s decision to fire Justice Emmanuel Agim was overturned by a five-member bench.
The governor, who voiced his opinion over the recent attacks in his state that claimed the lives of over 200 people, thinks the Plateau attacks are terrorist strikes.
“What I can tell you about the killings in Plateau and the attacks in recent times is that they are pure acts of terrorism.
“I believe that the sponsors of the terrorists, the financiers of the terrorists and those who arm the terrorists are known.
“And the security agencies know them or they have the capacity to know them. And that is why we are insisting that the security agencies must do their work, which is to protect lives and properties,” he said.
