- A youth leader has alleged a planned attack in Plateau State during Easter, claiming security agencies have been informed.
- The warning has raised concerns, though authorities are yet to confirm the threat.
A youth leader has raised alarm over an alleged planned attack in Gada Biu community, warning of potential violence during the Easter period.
In a statement that has begun circulating online, the youth leader claimed that there are reports of mobilization by suspected attackers, expressing concern over the safety of residents.
“Muslim Jihadists are mobilizing to attack Gada Biu this Easter, we are hearing the rumors,” he said.
He further alleged that security authorities have been informed but have yet to take visible action.
“We’ve told the IGP, they’re not doing anything. When it will happen it will be like Angwan Rukuba again,” he added.

In a statement shared online, the singer questioned why religious leaders have not taken a more active role in advocating for their followers amid ongoing violence across parts of the country.
“Why are Nigerian pastors not fighting for Christians? They use bullet proof cars yet their followers are dying,” he said.
Portable also challenged pastors to take collective action, suggesting that they should lead protests to demand accountability from the government.
“Why can’t pastors lead protest to the Aso Rock?” he asked.
He further made comparisons with reactions in other religious communities, implying that attacks often provoke stronger responses elsewhere.
“You can’t harm a Muslim and there won’t be chaos,” he added.
His comments have since generated mixed reactions on social media, with some users agreeing with his stance and calling for stronger advocacy from religious leaders, while others criticised his remarks as divisive.
