Sacked, Scattered, Waiting to Return — Untold story of Plateau’s communities emptied by violence 
📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
Plateau State, once known as Nigeria’s 'Home of Peace and Tourism,' is now grappling with severe violence that has left many communities deserted and thousands displaced. Areas such as Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, and Riyom have been particularly hard-hit, with homes, schools, and churches destroyed, forcing families into Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. Governor Caleb Mutfwang has acknowledged the crisis, emphasizing his administration's commitment to ensuring the safe return of displaced individuals to their homes. However, many residents remain fearful of returning due to ongoing threats from armed groups. Displacement has not only robbed families of their homes but also their livelihoods, as agriculture was their primary source of income. The situation remains dire, with communities yearning for peace to facilitate their return and rebuild their lives.
