LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Following the incessant attacks, and killings in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp has been relocated from the permanent site to a temporary site in Jos South LGA.
In a statement, the Spokesperson of the Plateau Police Command, DSP Alabo Alfred, said, “The commissioner of Police Bartholomew N.

“The visit is in accordance with the Commissioner of Police’s commitment toward ensuring the security of Corp Members in the State and strengthening the existing security arrangement of the Camp, Corp members and their management staff,” the statement read.
The development is a result of incessant attacks and counter-attacks between farming communities and pastoralists, leading to the loss of lives and properties.
Governor Caleb Muftwang had earlier declared 24 hours curfew to ensure law and order in Mangu, describing 80 per cent of the attacks in the state as “pure genocide”.
