FIC REPORT (PLATEAU STATE) – The Plateau State Government has received with grave concern reports of fresh attacks on Saturday 12th September 2026 in parts of Mangu Local Government Area, resulting in the loss of lives and injuries to citizens. Also a reported tragic incidence at Dungus Junction, Kuru Jos South Local Government Area on Sunday 13th September 2026.
These incidents are deeply disturbing, especially at a time when the State Government, in collaboration with security agencies, traditional institutions, community leaders and other stakeholders, has continued to strengthen the peace and security architecture of the State through sustained dialogue, intelligence sharing, community engagement and other proactive measures.
Government also appeals to citizens, particularly residents of communities affected by insecurity, to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies by providing credible and timely information that can assist in preventing attacks and apprehending perpetrators. Citizens are equally urged to resist the temptation to resort to reprisal attacks, which can further escalate violence and undermine the peace-building efforts of the State.
Under the leadership of His Excellency, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang ESQ, the Plateau State Government remains committed to peace as a priority. The protection of lives and property is fundamental to the administration’s vision of rebuilding trust, restoring confidence and creating an environment where citizens can live, farm, travel, invest and pursue their livelihoods without fear.
The Plateau State Government commiserates with the families of those who lost their lives and wishes the injured a speedy recovery. We assure affected communities that Government shares in their pain and will continue to work relentlessly towards securing the State.

Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, mni
