Plateau Christmas Massacre: Sowore Speaks, Says Successive Nigerian Rulers Knows Those Responsible

Omoyole Sowore, the former 2023 Presidential aspirant, and activist has reacted to the cold killing of residents in Plateau during Christmas Day celebration.

The Nigerian aspirant claimed that successive Nigerian rulers have an idea of those responsible for the killing in the State and several places across the country.

TopNaija had gathered that over 190 persons were confirmed to have lost their lives following the attacks by gunmen on several communities in Bokkos and Barikin-Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau.

According to some sources, the assailants launched the attacks on the residents of the three LGAs from Saturday till about 10 pm on Christmas Eve.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the presidential aspirant, Sowore claimed that the herders perpetrating the acts and their backers are known by past Nigerian rulers, and it is clear that the genocidaires enjoy a special status.

He also urged former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufia and other northern lawmakers who contributed their salaries to help victims of the Kaduna bomb incident to do likewise for Plateau state.

He wrote: “Plateau Christmas Massacre: It is NOT just only sad that Nigerians are consistently slaughtered by well known herdsmen in Plateau and several places across Nigeria, what’s despicable is that successive nigerian rulers know these killing machines and their backers (that’s if and when they are not DIRECTLY backed and sponsored by Nigerian elites in govt. It is clear to all that these genocidaires enjoy a special status.

“I am hoping that @elrufai, @former Kano Emir @SanusiLamidoS and all the northern lawmakers who contributed their salaries to help Kaduna bomb victims would not forget the Plateau herdsmen victims during this particular hour, the same applies to others who visited Kaduna to show solidarity.”
