    Plateau, Benue: Over 80 Communities Under ISWAP Control – CRA

    The Christian Rights Agenda (CRA) has sounded a serious alarm over the escalating wave of terror attacks in Benue, Plateau, and other parts of northern Nigeria, revealing that more than 80 communities have fallen under the control of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters.

    Secretary-General of CRA, in a statement issued on Sunday and made available to TheSun.ng, revealed that his team is closely monitoring the situation, describing the recent spate of violence as a coordinated effort by insurgents to impose terror, religious intolerance, and complete anarchy.

    Dikwa disclosed that the organisation has deployed teams to Benue, Plateau, and Borno states to gather firsthand evidence of the growing humanitarian disaster facing Christian communities.

    Preliminary reports, he said, confirmed that over 80 communities have already been seized by terrorists, leaving a trail of death, destruction, and mass displacement in their wake.

    “The current attacks are systematic, organised, and aimed at wiping out entire Christian communities,” Reverend Dikwa stated.

    He warned that Nigeria stands at a dangerous crossroads if urgent action is not taken by the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government.

    While commending Mr President for issuing new marching orders to security agencies to curb the violence, CRA cautioned that such directives must not be merely cosmetic.

    The group stressed the need for strict implementation and accountability, urging that security personnel who fail to deliver on their duties must be sanctioned to prevent further sabotage.

    The organisation further criticised state governors for what it described as “politicising the killings”, calling on them to be courageous enough to address the root cause of the violence without hiding behind political rhetoric.

    “It is no longer acceptable to downplay the gravity of the situation.

    “Communities are being wiped out. Children, women, and the elderly are being slaughtered.
