Wednesday, January 21, 2026 - Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has urged the Nigerian Armed Forces to treat terrorists as criminals and enemies of the land.
Mutfwang said this when he hosted the Chief of Army Staff
(COA), Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shuaibu, at the Government House in Jos, the state
capital.
The governor congratulated the COAS on his appointment,
saying Plateau had enjoyed relative peace since the inception of his tenure.
He urged the military to treat terrorists and bandits
appropriately and not downplay their offences.
Mutfwang noted that visible changes had been recorded in the
security sector since the COAS assumed office.
The governor urged the military hierarchy not to relent but
intensify efforts towards a safer Nigeria.
“Let me first congratulate you on your appointment as COAS
and to say wholeheartedly that we wish you a very successful tour of duty.
“You are in our prayers, that during your tenure, we will
witness a significant reduction in all the challenges that have confronted the
Nigerian nation.
“There have been challenges. There have been times when
people have asked questions about the insecurity, but I must say that your
presence has allowed many communities to sleep with their two eyes closed.
