Following the killing of over 17 people in the predominantly Christian town of Jos, the Plateau State capital in the Middle Belt region of Nigeria, the former governor of the state, Jonah David Jang, has called on Christians to rise and defend themselves.

Jonah Jang, whose eight years of governance in the state was also bedevilled by attacks on communities by both Boko Haram Islamic terrorist group and Islamic Fulani cattle herdsmen, has initiated and insisted that the constitution must be reviewed to allow the creation of state police.

The former governor said the call for christians to defend themselves has become necessary because “the people… are no longer safe wherever they are in our towns, villages, and city,” saying the people must “defend themselves within the perimeters of the law.” Because it has now become “dangerous to trust (President) Buhari with their security.”

Jang, now the senator representing Plateau North in the National Assembly, said both President Muhammadu Buhari and the current state governor, Lalong, should “resign with immediate effect having displayed unfathomable insensitivity and cluelessness in the aspects of security and value for human life.”
