Plateau Killings: Angry protesters force their way into government house, vandalise properties

A group of protesters including women and youth besieged the Plateau State government house on Wednesday, vandalising glass doors and vehicles within the premises.

The protesters had converged at the Old Airport Junction in Jos wearing black and carrying green leaves as they walked to the Government House Little Rayfield.

One of the protesters, Mrs. Nanbam John Dawan, had earlier told newsmen that the protest was peaceful, adding that the aim was to register their grievance to both the state and federal government.

Dawan said, “from the state government to the federal, they are doing nothing about the killings, we are tired of the killings, no place is safe in Plateau.”

The protesters then moved to the new government house, Little Rayfield and forced their way through the gate where they smashed the glass doors of the government house administrative block and some vehicles, including those of journalists.

Attempt by the governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Samuel Emmanuel Nanle, to appease them failed which led security agents to shoot in the air to disperse them.

There were indications that what started as a peaceful protest was hijacked by miscreant youths.
