Plateau State Government has declared what it described as a “state of war against terrorists and enemies of the state” following a series of coordinated attacks recorded across parts of the state over the past four months.
The declaration was made after an emergency meeting of the State Security Council convened on Tuesday by Governor Caleb Mutfwang at the Rayfield Government House in Jos.
Addressing journalists after the session, the Secretary to the State Government, Samuel Jatau, said the council extensively reviewed the worsening security situation and adopted several measures aimed at protecting lives and property.
