Stop Calling Killers by Their Tribe” — IGP Cautions Against Tribal Blame
Following the recent deadly attack in Zikke community, Bassa LGA of Plateau State, Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has paid a visit to the area and issued a strong warning against ethnic profiling in the wake of the violence.
The attack, which occurred on Monday, left numerous residents dead, homes destroyed, and hundreds displaced. Reports allege the perpetrators to be armed Fulani herdsmen — the same group accused in earlier attacks in neighboring Benue State.

Speaking during his tour of the crisis-hit region on Tuesday, Egbetokun condemned the bloodshed and acknowledged the immense toll it has taken on local farming communities.
“We strongly condemn these senseless killings,” the police chief stated. “I won’t say too much now, but I can assure you — these criminal elements will be surprised soon. Their days are numbered.”
Egbetokun urged residents to unite and avoid labeling criminals based on tribe or ethnicity.
“Criminals are criminals — they don’t have a tribe,” he said. “Let’s not let ethnicity divide us. We must come together and deal with these threats collectively.”
Governor Caleb Muftwang, who received the IGP during the visit, also voiced deep frustration and sorrow over the recurring violence. He described the Zikke massacre as “plain murder,” revealing that children as young as three and elderly citizens were among the victims.
“What threat could a three-year-old pose?” Muftwang asked emotionally. “This is beyond sad — it’s evil. Plateau was on a path to peace. Now, we’re facing a terrifying setback.”
The governor confirmed speaking directly with President Bola Tinubu, who reportedly pledged a swift and coordinated response from all security agencies.
“We’re not backing down,” Muftwang added. “Things may seem calm right now, but we must remain vigilant and push for justice.”
The tragedy in Zikke is only the latest in a wave of brutal attacks across Plateau, a state that has long battled inter-communal tensions, herder-farmer clashes, and armed banditry. Civil society groups continue to urge the federal government to take firmer action and restore lasting peace to the region.
