The four branches of the Nigerian Bar Association in Plateau State have condemned the worsening wave of attacks across the state and called for urgent constitutional, security and judicial reforms. At a joint press conference on Monday in Jos, the NBA branches in Jos, Bukuru, Pankshin and Shendam described recent attacks in Mangu, Barkin Ladi, Riyom and Bokkos Local Government Areas as a grave indictment of the state's capacity to protect citizens.

It warned that the unchecked violence, displacement of communities and alleged occupation of ancestral lands by attackers pose a serious threat to public confidence, law and order.
