The Plateau State Government has faulted the failure of the soldiers of the Nigerian Army to arrest the killers of 27 farmers in the Tahoss community of the Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State on Monday.
The state government blamed the military for the failure to arrest or neutralise any of the suspected killer herdsmen despite establishing contact with them during the attack.
“The checkpoint is barely 200 meters from where this incident happened,” the state’s Information Commissioner, Joyce Ramnap, said on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief programme on Friday.
“The response we got was that none were arrested and none were captured. None of those killed were affected by all that happened.”
