Determined to recover communities occupied by terrorists in Plateau State, the State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has ordered a census of people living in the area, emphasising the need for proper documentation of residents.
He made this order during a visit to the Tyop community in the Mangu Local Government Area of the state on Saturday.
The governor’s move aims to address the growing security concerns in the state, where sixty-four communities have been occupied by terrorists.
The governor condemned the arrangement where indigenous populations are chased out of their ancestral homes, calling it a ploy to keep people in poverty.
Mutfwang emphasised the need for law-abiding citizens, stating that the state cannot afford to be lawless.
The governor appealed for peaceful engagement with the occupants and urged security agencies to take charge.
