Plateau State would be housing a news Military Barracks immediately, according to President Bola Tinubu’s approval.
The Bokkos local government area’s Miller Farm (Gada Biyu) Mbar District is where the barracks would be situated.
In order to address the security concerns in the region, President Tinubu gave General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defense Staff, instructions on how to coordinate the implementation of this plan.
Joshua Dariye, the former governor of the Plateau state, worked to make it easier for the Barracks to be established in order to put an end to the ongoing attacks that have resulted in fatalities, extensive looting, and property devastation.
Once operational, the Barracks will swiftly intervene to address the relentless attacks and killings in Bokkos, Mangu, Riyom, Barkin Ladi, and neighbouring Nasarawa state.
This initiative is especially crucial following the simultaneous sacking of certain communities, widespread looting, and loss of life on Christmas Eve of 2023 in Bokkos, Mangu, and Barkin Ladi local government areas.
