The military has said herder militia, cattle rustling and a combination of other factors are responsible for the crisis which has engulfed the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, stated this while addressing a news conference in Abuja on the activities of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

He, however, said Special Forces have been deployed to hot spots in the state to contain the situation.

Meanwhile, the Plateau State Police Command has paraded 16 suspects in connection with the recent attacks in the Mangu Local Government Area of the state.
