The outgoing Commander of the Operation Safe Haven (OPHS) in charge of internal security in Plateau and Southern Kaduna, Major General Augustine Agundu, said criminality and the inability to resolve local issues across tribal divides and hatred were responsible for 20 years of violence in Plateau state.

Gen Agundu disclosed this during the handing over ceremony to the new Commander, Maj Gen Chukwuemeka C Okonkwo, held at the OPHS headquarters, Jos, Plateau State.

“The inability to resolve even inconsequential and local issues between and across tribal divides due to age-long animosity and hatred have worsened the crises for almost 20 years.

“Worse still some grassroots community and religious leaders are often culpable in promoting intolerance that has further fuelled the many years of crises yet till date there is no winner.”

Gen Agundu called on various strata of leaders in the state to reflect on the greater benefits of promoting and preaching peace, forgiveness and reconciliation as against an unfortunate culture of instilling rancour and bitterness which has shaped the crises across the theatre.

“I implore all well-meaning citizens to reflect on how beautiful Nigeria as a whole can be under a peaceful atmosphere – an atmosphere that would encourage us to harness the abundance of potentials to nation-building.

“Unfortunately, the crisis in Plateau and Southern Kaduna have only been able to generate orphans, widows, pains, frustration, fear and anger. There are few individuals within the communities who indulge in acts of lawlessness as a way of life, unleashing mayhem on innocent law-abiding citizens.”

He regretted that some leaders of thought had fallen into the trap laid by these criminals through their unguarded statements that epitomize divisive tendencies.

Gen Agundu expressed gratitude to Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong and his Kaduna State counterpart, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, for providing a level playing ground for the command to operate effectively.

He said the peace currently being enjoyed in Plateau and Southern Kaduna was as a result of the relentless efforts the Operation Safe Haven (OPHS) put in place particularly during the aftermath of bloody attacks in Gashis District of Barkin-Ladu Local Government Area of Plateau State.

    Fulani caliphate with its emirates are behind the conflicts in Plateau etc. Fulani caliphate with its emirates which are fighting to subdue this territory natives under fulani rulership. The only answer is end of fulani caliphate with its emirates in the ongoing Revolution War under the natives Disintegrated Republics in which thugs of fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname military and police must be Eliminated on every inch of this natives territory of Disintegrated Republics. The power of fulani caliphate with its emirates are thugs of fulani caliphate with its emirates. Elimination of fulani thugs nickname military and police is end of fulani caliphate with its emirates. We have broken backbones of fulani thugs nickname military and police in the last three and half years of bloody engagement against fulani caliphate with its emirates under the natives Disintegrated Republics. The remaining thugs of fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname military and police must be Eliminated on every inch of this natives territory of Disintegrated Republics for end of fulani caliphate with its emirates. The so-called Nigeria which is fulani caliphate with its emirates, has fallen and gone forever- it is Yugoslavia of Africa. The six geopolitical zones are Sovereign States- Biafra Republic of south east, Niger Delta Republic of south south, Oduduwa Republic of south west, North East Republic, North West Republic, North Central Republic. Only the Sword decides between this territory natives and fulani caliphate with its emirates.
