As the death toll in Bokkos killings rises, Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, has raised concern over the increasing spate of insecurity in many parts of the country.


On the night of Wednesday, April 2, 2025, armed men invaded five communities in the Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, killing 10 people. By Thursday, over 40 bodies had been recovered in the Local Government Area as additional bodies were reportedly found.

Reacting to the tragedy, Obi condemned the ‘senseless attacks’ on families in Bokkos communities.

“I woke up this morning reading about yet another gory and deeply distressing report from Bokkos, Plateau State. Entire families have, again, been slaughtered in yet another senseless attack. Children and pregnant women were not spared.

Five communities in Bokkos, Mangor Tamiso, Daffo, Manguna, Hurti, and Tadai have been left in mourning, forced to bury their loved ones in mass graves.

“How long will these killings, kidnapping, maiming and criminality continue in our nation that is not at war? How long must we wait to act decisively and focus on this drastic situation that is crippling our nation? How many more must die before the government act for the people?” he queried.

The former Governor of Anambra State said killings and kidnapping are becoming normal occurrences, adding that insecurity is so rife in the country that Nigerians now live in fear.

“We are now normalizing mass killings and mass burials as a way of life in our nation. Every Nigerian life is sacred, whether in Edo State, Benue, Enugu, Borno, Anambra, Ondo, or Plateau.

You will not hear pim from the President, VP, SP, Speaker and even the useless governor now since it is Christians that are on the receiving end

The NEF will not give ultimatum for the killers to be produced neither will there be any visit to any of the families involved

It will just be another business day a la Hell Ruffian

Nigeria is not even a zoo. Animals are not killed indiscriminately in a zoo and animals are equal and get equal treatment in a zoo

Nigeria is a jungle

Hmm. Now these 'hunters' are called armed men because they attacked people. But when people attack them, the armed men become 'innocent hunters'. Someone pls give me the PDAPC GIF to solve this paradox.

In as much as I condemn every heinous killing by any individual, group or tribe. I hope this uncalled for killing of innocent citizens in Plateau will attract the same attention and action we witnessed in the one in Edo State.
