Plateau’s Illegal Arms Factories Expose Biased Global Narratives

The recent discovery of three illegal arms factories by Operation Enduring Peace in Vom, Jos South LGA reveals local weapons manufacturing in Plateau State. Troops recovered fabricated AK-47s, revolver components, magazines and industrial tools. Despite these concrete findings, there has been little domestic or international outrage. If similar sites had been linked to Fulani militias, media headlines would scream genocide, NGOs would issue alerts and protests would erupt in major cities. Selective silence around these raids highlights a narrative ecosystem where facts are filtered by ethnicity and religion. Genuine peace in Plateau demands confronting all armed actors equally, exposing funding sources, and ending propaganda-driven storytelling. Plateau’s crisis has become a multidimensional conflict of militia reprisals, illegal arms proliferation and communal distrust. Lasting reconciliation cannot emerge until every side is held accountable without ethnic bias.
