SEN. VICTOR LAR BEMOANS TRAGIC ATTACKS ON PLATEAU COMMUNITIES

Former Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Plateau State, Sen. Victor Rampyal Lar, has decried the unabated and unprovoked massacre of Plateau locals by marauding herdsmen, calling on governments at all levels to prioritize preserving the sanctity of human lives, as the paramount responsibility of every responsive government.

The two-term member representing Langtang North/South Federal Constituency from 1999-2007, sympathetically regretted that for over two decades, Plateau communities have been targets of coordinated annihilation by people whose identities have been concealed for political correctness, while countless dreams were cut short in their primes in the heinous acts.

While extending his heartfelt sympathy to communities affected by the recent relapse of security breach in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas, Sen. Lar challenged securities operatives to redouble their efforts in order to bring the recurrence of attacks in the state to an enduring end.

He commiserated with the government and people of Plateau State for the unfortunate developments, while commending the governor for promptly responding to the emergency situation by taking measures likely to stem the tides of attacks in the state.

Lar further charged both the federal and state governments to synergize in their efforts to guarantee the security of lives and property of Plateau people and other Nigerians in all segments of the country.

According to the former parliamentarian, "the resurgence of banditry and spontaneous attacks on numerous communities across the country, are reminiscent of the unfortunate developments that characterized the build-up to the 2015 elections which contributed in ending the Jonathan administration". He clarifies that, it could not be a coincidence that similar antics are being employed now that the Tinubu administration is bracing for re-election amid tumultuous disagreements from certain politicians of Northern extraction who played audacious roles in ending the Jonathan administration. "The villains now are the same as in 2015", Senator Lar, enthused.

He admonishes President Tinubu to find concrete solution to the killing spree across Nigeria before his adversaries achieve their nefarious aim of making political capital out of the nation's security situation. Suggesting that implementing the white papers on the various commissions of inquiry set up at different times to unravel the causes of upheavals in Plateau State will go a long way in arresting the resurgence of attacks particularly in Plateau State.

Widows Reclaim Hope Through Scarlet Cord Initiative In Southern Kaduna, trauma-healed widows are turning grief into business ideas and resilience into economic power. By Justin Jattim A non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment, education, and economic upliftment of vulnerable women and youth impacted by banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency in Nigeria, the Scarlet Cord Initiative, has extended its work to Gumel in Kachia, southern Kaduna. There, it held a two-day holistic empowerment programme for about 100 traumatized women. The programme included skills training, mentorship, trauma psycho-support, and advocacy. The event, which took place in a vibrant hall in Gora, began with a simple ball of yarn passed from hand to hand, weaving a visible web of connection among the 100 selected widows. These women shared the experience of losing their husbands to violent attacks. This was not a craft lesson, but the opening act of a profound tra...
