Following the killings in Birom, Plateau State-Nigeria.
Jonah Jang, a former governor of Plateau State, now a serving senator was recently remanded in prison for peculating a whopping sum of N2b of his state while he held sway as Plateau state honcho.
Jonah Jang is from Birom in Plateau state. Birom youth recently protested that the federal government should stop prosecuting Jonah Jang, their son. After all, the said money belongs to Plateau people but not Buhari in their words.
Days before the Sunday carnage, precisely four days before the Sunday massacre, Four Fulani (not herdsmen) coming with a truck loaded with cows were stopped by Birom youth around Bukuru. They were attacked, their cows rustled and their truck burnt into ashes.
Now add 1 plus 1 and make a discerning and objective conclusion. Violence is no option but we must stop treating the Jos or any other security challenge like an iceberg. It will only continue unabated. The need to address the root cause is fundamentally germane. The Nigerian media has not faired well in all ramifications.
Rwanda genocide was largely due to media escalation. I hope we take caution because if you think you are in Lagos, then you are safe. You are in Port-Harcourt, you are safe. You are in Enugu, you are safe. By the time it starts, that your bed will be too hot for you to sleep on.
