The Vice-Chancellor of Karl Kumm University (KKU), Vom, Professor Audu Nanven Gambo, has condemned in the strongest terms, the grief unleashed on peaceful farming communities in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas of Plateau State.

This was contained in a press statement signed by the University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Audu Nanven Gambo, and made available to newsmen in Jos, the Plateau State capital Wednesday.

 The statement states, “the Vice Chancellor Karl-Kumm University, Vom, condemns in strongest terms, the climate of grief unleashed on some peaceful farming communities in Bokkos  LGA on the 28th March, and 2nd April 2025, and most recently in Bassa on 13th April, 2025.

“All these attacks against sedentary farming communities in some specific locations in Plateau State by some terrorist groups point to the fact that the State has for long, been the critical target of the blood thirsty groups. 

“May the souls of all the victims of these senseless attacks and killings rest in peace with the good Lord. We share in this moment of grief felt across the affected communities in these two LGAs”, it stated.

According to the statement, the VC expressed deepest sympathy with His Excellency, the Governor of Plateau State, Barr Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang and the entire peace loving citizens of the State over the needless tragedy that has befallen the two LGAs.

He, therefore, prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured and successful resettlement of those displaced from their ancestral homes saying, “may we all close ranks to defeat this evil that is threatening to erode the foundation of our collective existence. 

“It was Chinua Achebe who cautioned that you first drive away the hawks before you caution the chicken not to wander into the forest again. 

“We need each other to protect and defend our common heritage against these enemies of humanity. God bless Plateau State and Nigeria”, he prayed.
