The Plateau State Association United Kingdom (PSA-UK) has expressed concern over what it describes as the continued violence and displacement in parts of Plateau State, warning that many rural communities remain vulnerable despite reduced national attention.
In a statement jointly signed by the association’s President, Dr. Solomon Chollom, and Publicity Secretary, Sendi Zechariah, PSA-UK said reports of killings, attacks and community takeovers in recent weeks show that insecurity on the Plateau is still ongoing and unresolved.
The statement read, “It is alarming that what began as isolated incidents has now evolved into sustained violence, repeated displacement and continuous fear among residents across Plateau communities.”
“If government agencies lack the capacity to decisively confront violent groups, then external support must be considered. Allowing the situation to continue will only lead to further suffering, loss of life and destruction.”
PSA-UK noted that many displaced persons are still unable to return home or farm, while some communities remain occupied by armed groups. It added that families are living under constant fear, particularly in rural areas where response times and security presence are limited.
The association also criticised what it described as slow or inadequate action in addressing the attacks and said authorities must prioritise accountability and visible protection for affected communities.
According to the group, restoring safety and confidence among residents will require improved intelligence gathering, community-based security systems and more coordinated intervention between state and federal agencies.
PSA-UK said it will continue to monitor developments and speak on behalf of Plateau communities, especially those whose situations no longer appear in national headlines.
The statement concluded with a call for renewed attention to the crisis, insisting that Plateau residents deserve protection, justice and the ability to live without fear.
