Villagers Flee Plateau over Invasion by Soldiers

Thousands of villagers have fled their homes in Maraban-Foron of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State following the invasion of soldiers alleged to be members of the Special Task Force (STF) deployed to keep peace in the community.


A source from the community alleged that some soldiers suspected to be members of the STF invaded the community and started breaking into houses, beating up members of the community and terrorising the people with gun shots.


According to him, "As I speak with you, most of our villagers have fled to neighboring communities because of how the men of the STF have terrorised us. We cannot continue to remain and get tortured by the military.


"In fact, most of my relatives have relocated to Kuru. We are calling on the state government to intervene".
