Addressing the community’s response to the recent attacks, the press statement signed by Matthew Tegha, Coordinator of the Plateau Peace Media Network encouraged unity and compassion, highlighting that the assaults aimed to sow seeds of fear and division. However, the resilient people of Plateau State were called upon to stand undeterred and united against any force seeking to undermine collective peace.
The strength of Plateau, as emphasized by the Plateau Peace Media Network, lies in the ability of the community to come together, support one another, and rebuild the fabric of their communities. The statement invited residents to embrace the spirit of togetherness, extend a helping hand to neighbors, and fortify the bonds of solidarity.
