Plateau State Governor, Barrister, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang says not fewer than 64 communities in the state have been displaced by terrorists who are occupying the areas and some schools.
Speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday on the recent attacks in the State, he said they celebrated the Christmas with heavy heart with not less than 17 communities attacked.
The Governor highlighted the immense burden placed on the state by the continuous displacement of citizens due to terrorist activities.
“When people are dislocated from their villages and they have to run for shelter, now we are struggling to provide shelter for these people that have been displaced and dislocated from communities.
“”If they stay away from those communities for a sustained period of time, the terrorists would come in. As I am talking to you today (Tuesday), in Riyom Local Government, in Barkin-Ladi Local Government, schools have been occupied by the terrorists for almost a number of years now.
“We have not less than 64 communities that have been displaced and their Lands have been taken over by these terrorists”, he said.
