Leaders of Riyom Local Government Area and Barkin-Ladi of Plateau State have called on the STF not to be quick in dismissing the story of a planned attack on the state.
On Monday, the state broadcast station reported that a helicopter and some Hilux vans bearing arms had arrived Mahanga village in Riyom Local Government Area, in readiness for a planned attack by unknown persons.
A day after the report, leaders of Mahanga and the Special Task Force (STF) debunked the report, saying it was baseless. The STF took journalists to Mahanga, to show that there was nothing like that.
But yesterday, leaders of Riyom and Barkin Ladi, urged the STF to investigate the matter properly to prevent possible attacks.
Chairman of Riyom Local Government Area, Mrs Josephine Piyo, said: “If STF said they didn’t see anything when they went to Mahanga, it is not surprising. Nobody said the vehicles stayed back in Mahanga and nobody expects whatever the vehicles took there to be kept in places where they can be easily seen.”
