Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has called on the Nigerian military to reassess its approach to the ongoing violence in the region. He urged them to move beyond perceiving their role as simply peacekeeping and instead recognize the killings as a direct threat to Nigeria's sovereignty. Mutfwang emphasized the gravity of the situation and the need for a more robust response to the escalating violence. He believes framing the issue correctly – as an attack on the nation itself – will unlock greater resources and a more decisive military action. The governor’s statement comes amid a surge in deadly attacks in Plateau State, causing significant loss of life and displacement. He is advocating for a fundamental shift in the military’s operational understanding of the crisis, demanding a heightened level of engagement and protection for citizens.
