La’ake, a village in Plateau State, was attacked April 1 at night. “Ninety households burnt, two people killed—Joshua Wanga, 42, and Ngweda Mali, 76—3 bikes carted away, 4 bikes burnt, 10 pumping machines broken, and 9 power generators destroyed,” a source from the community told ICC.

The attack, according to eyewitnesses, started around 1:05 am and lasted for over two hours unchecked. The entire village was sacked. The land has suffered a lot and the damage is becoming unbearable. “The agenda of ethnic cleansing of the Rigwe people will not triumph” said Davidson Malison, a local. “This the third consecutive day the nation has being attacked. And there are no efforts to curb it by those saddled with the responsibility of protecting lives and property of the citizens.”

Ezekiel Bini, the national leader of the Rigwe youth, consoled Christians in the community and pleaded with Christians to be peaceful as Christ preaches. He wants more assistance from Christians in the diaspora.
