A JOINT PRESS STATEMENT OF THE ATAKAR,  BEROM, IRIGWE, MWAGAVWUL AND RON YOUTHS ASSOCIATIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COALITION OF PLATEAU STATE INDIGENOUS YOUTHS BODIES ON THE ALARMING SPATE OF FULANI OCCUPATION OF HAMLETS,VILLAGES AND COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS LAND GRABBING IN PLATEAU STATE, HELD AT NIGERIAN UNION OF JOURNALISTS-NUJ, ON THE 27TH MAY, 2024

In view of the unsatisfactory and feeble responses so far received from all levels of Government in Nigeria, the Atakar, Berom, Iriggwe, Mwagavwul and Ron Youths Associations in conjunction with the Coalition of Plateau Indigenous Youths Bodies are constraint to  draw attention of the public and, especially, International Community through this Press Conference on the alarming and unacceptable loss of ancestral lands as well as the denial of access to farmlands and mining sites currently being suffered by the customary landowners in the State.

For several years to date, the Youths Bodies have been crying aloud and lodging complains to appropriate authorities including the Nigerian Police Force, Department of State Security, Operation Safe Haven-OPSH, National Human Rights Commission, the National Assembly and others that there is a serious under current to the unprecedented and  well orchestrated terror attacks unleashed on our Hamlets, Villages and Communities with the principal motive of dispossessing us of our God-giving lands and territory. The agenda and strategy of the Fulani terrorists is evidenced in attacks and killings on Hamlets, Villages and Communities thereby intimidating and displacing native inhabitants, leading to the disruption of their livelihoods, paving way for the occupation of such  lands and denial of access which consequentially produces   ungoverned spaces and "NO-GO" areas for supposedly conquered peoples in this 21st Century!
