Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang says the incessant attacks on his state are acts of terrorism and the masterminds are known to security agencies.

Mutfwang said the earlier the nation deals with the attacks, the better, insisting that those sponsoring terrorism are not unknown.

The governor spoke on Friday while fielding questions on a television programme following the Supreme Court verdict that affirmed his electoral victory in the last gubernatorial election.

In his words, "What I can tell you about the killings in Plateau and the attacks in recent times is that they are pure acts of terrorism.

"I believe that the sponsors of the terrorists, the financiers of the terrorists and those who arm the terrorists are known.

“And the security agencies know them or they have the capacity to know them. And that is why we are insisting that the security agencies must do their work, which is to protect lives and properties,” he said.
