It is so sad to hear about deaths and bloodshed in central Nigeria at this Christmas season of peace and goodwill to all on earth. Bandits have mercilessly attacked innocent people and murdered over 150 people in the central plateau area around Bokkos, Jos and Barkin Ladi.
When young men are given powerful weapons and operate without morality but are able to become bandits, robbers and heartless thugs, then death and destruction inevitably occur. Bandits have brought murder and mayhem to the streets of central Nigeria. There is little protection and safety from these bandit assassins. There seem to be enormous security issues for the government. Boko Haram and Islamic State warriors are active in the northern parts of Nigeria, and they move south to wreak havoc from time to time.
I am looking into the ethno-religious tensions in the central plateau area. What causes these bandit militias to murder and maim? How are they so heavily armed and willing to shed innocent blood?
