The former member representing Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency, Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos, has paid a humanitarian visit to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, where he decried the continued suffering of victims affected by recent violent attacks.
Moved by the conditions he witnessed, Hon. Bagos expressed deep concern and sorrow over the plight of displaced families who have been forced to flee their ancestral homes due to insecurity.
“My heart is heavy after visiting an IDP camp in Riyom, where innocent victims of the barbaric attacks now seek refuge,” he said.
During the visit, the former lawmaker donated relief materials to the camp, interacted with displaced persons, and offered words of encouragement and solidarity, assuring them that their voices would not go unheard.
“I spent time with them, offering relief materials and standing in solidarity with their pain and their strength. They deserve justice, security, and the chance to return to their ancestral lands with dignity.”
Bagos stressed the urgency of addressing the root causes of the crisis and called on both the state and federal governments to act swiftly to restore peace, rebuild affected communities, and bring perpetrators to justice.
“We cannot look away. We must not be silent,” he declared. “These victims are not just statistics. They are people with dreams, families, and rights. Justice must prevail.”
His visit comes amid rising concerns over continued attacks on rural communities in Plateau State and the growing number of internally displaced persons. His intervention has drawn praise from local leaders and residents, who say it brings hope in a time of despair.
Hon. Bagos reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for lasting peace, community rebuilding, and the safe return of displaced people to their homes.
Recall that on Thursday 3rd July Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, was also in plateau State, were she donated a generous sum of one Billion Naira, to the Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, in support of the victims of the recent violence in the state.
The visit underscores the increasing calls for action to end the cycles of violence in Plateau communities and to uphold the dignity and rights of displaced citizens.
