‘We Don’t Want Soldiers Here Anymore’: Plateau Residents Protest Security Failures

Residents of Plateau State have held protests demanding the withdrawal of soldiers from their communities. They accuse the military of failing to stop repeated attacks by Fulani armed gangs, which continue to slaughter civilians despite troops being stationed nearby. Locals say that when they try to organise self-defence groups, security forces arrest and prosecute them instead of offering protection. They argue that the current deployment offers no real safety for their families. Protesters insist they need effective security measures and meaningful dialogue — not more troop deployments that have so far done little to curb the violence.
