DATED 23RD OCTOBER, 2026
Following the World Press Conference held by the Coalition of Plateau State Indigenous Youth Bodies at the Nigerian Union of Journalists in Abuja on 21st October, 2026, which exposed the activities of killer Fulani groups infamously known as “terrorists,” credible intelligence of a desperate plot by Fulani terrorist networks across Nigeria to launch an aggressive counter-propaganda campaign has been intercepted and is hereby uncovered.
Through reliable sources, the Coalition has been furnished with information about a reactionary plan by Fulani militants, terrorists and bandits to stage a World Press Conference, wherein the effective joint operations of the Department of State Services [DSS], the Mobile Police Force, and Operation Rainbow would be falsely projected as genocidal against the Fulani. This comes in spite of the significant degradation of terrorist and bandit cells in recent times, which has resulted in minimized attacks on villages and communities across Plateau State.
It has also been revealed that the propaganda machinery of these terrorist sponsors is currently mobilizing in Abuja to stage the counter press conference, exclusively targeting the DSS — an agency that has evidently degraded terrorist networks operating on the Plateau and its environs. Following this development, hamlets, villages and communities have not only expressed relief, but also commended the intelligence-led operations for its commencement and sustained bravery.
As the vanguard of the State, particularly for hamlets, villages and communities that have suffered series of terror attacks, killings, displacements, kidnappings and abductions, mass destruction of farmlands, oppression and economic servitude, we encourage you not to be dismayed by the humanitarian catastrophe unleashed on you. We are also using this medium to alert the Nigerian Government, International Community and, endeed general public, to be aware of, and take note of, the frivolous and dangerous claims the enemies of the Nigerian State intend to peddle through their propaganda machine:
*1) FABRICATED ALLEGATION OF GENOCIDE AGAINST FULANI IN PLATEAU*
Our sources also revealed that since the factual truth presented at the Coalition’s World Press Conference dealt a blow to their spurious petition and to the malicious, AI-generated videos and photos — thereby exposing the falsehoods propagandized by criminally-minded Fulani groups — some ringleaders, sponsors, foot-soldiers, merchants and other networks have jointly put together sophistry to launch a dangerous global propaganda campaign intended to paint DSS operations as genocide against Fulani groups in Plateau State.
While every citizen or group has a right to freedom of expression, we firmly view this as a calculated attempt to discredit a highly efficient Service with an irrefutable reputation, professionally built on trust, accountability and transparency sustained over 40 years of bravery, hard work and dedication demonstrated by men and women , who can withstand global scrutiny.
More dangerously is an attempt to flip the narrative of ethnic displacement and replacement currently ongoing across the Middle Belt, North-West and other parts of Nigeria in view of well noted notorious facts that, in this context, have continued to speak for themselves. For instance, in Katsina, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Kano, Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Kwara, Kogi, Ondo, Enugu and all other states where Fulani militancy has become pervasive on a daily basis, compelling evidence emanating therefrom is better described than defined — mass graves, burned and seized villages, hostage camps, confessional statements of arrested terrorists, viral social media threats, harrowing intimidation and torture of kidnapped and abducted victims, and the open display as well as brandishing of sophisticated firearms by Fulani ground soldiers have become irrefutable pointers to subscribed atrocities and other acts of terrorism attributed to Fulani militant networks.
It is worthy of mention that the Coalition believes that the victims, by all accounts, are not Fulani. They are Hausa, Maguzawa, Gobirawa, Tiv, Jukun, Kutep, Zuru, Basharawa, Berom, Mwaghavul, Irigwe, Ron, Afizere, Anaguta, Atten, Ngas, Ebira, Bache, Igala, Yoruba, Igbo, Bajju, Atyap, Koro, Mada, Eggon, Idoma and all other indigenous tribes of Nigeria. In the same vein, none of the aforementioned tribes have ever been found planning aggression and/or traveling across the cities, Local Government Area or States of Nigeria to carry out onslaughts against any Fulani settlement, but the reverse has been the case.
Before the relevant authorities, general public and, indeed, the International Community is misled into believing and swallowing the poisonous propaganda about to be witnessed, the questions that beckon for anwer is, Who then is the victim of genocide? Who has been orchestrating and benefitting from the said genocide and mass atrocities unleashed across our country, Nigeria?
*2) FABRICATED ALLEGATION OF DRONES ACQUISITION AND SUPPLIES TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES*
According to the sources, another shameless narrative agreed to be factored into their planned global propaganda, reveals that the terrorist networks have framed up an allegation that the DSS is purchasing and supplying drones to native communities to spy on the movements of Fulani herders during grazing.
In the Coalition’s view, this is the most self-indicting claim the murderous Fulani gangs can ever make as there is, in abundance, the public videos evidencing Fulani herders grazing with lethal weapons, and records that undeniably prove attacks and killings of both civilians and security operatives.
So, for this unsubstantiated assertion to be inludes in their forthcoming World Press Conference statement, it would impliedly amount to an open admittance to violent organized crimes and the armed banditry judicially pronounced by the Federal High Court on November, 26, 2021 as TERRORISM not just against innocent people, but against the Nigerian State — crimes that fit perfectly into the definition of terrorism under the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
In view of this emerging developments, the Coalition, therefore calls on the Nigerian Government and the world to prepare to stage its machineries in place in order to arrest and subject those individuals or groups of persons behind this planned press conference to thorough investigation and possible prosecution in accordance with relevant extant laws .
Furthermore, the pathological lies about to be broadcasted are designed with criminal intent to weaken the morale and legitimate power of the DSS and other Law Enforcement Agencies from carrying out aerial surveillance in operational areas, which is critical for troop safety, community safety, and crime prevention.
*3) FABRICATED ALLEGATION OF TRIBAL SENTIMENT AGAINST THE PLATEAU STATE DIRECTOR OF DSS*
The Coalition of the Plateau Indigenous Youth Bodies is duty bound by good conscience to exposed another sinister intent in the draft of the said World Press Conference which aims at presenting the Plateau State Director of DSS, Mr. Paul Damian as bias in the discharge of his public function, simply because he hails from a minority group in Northern Nigeria. They, therefore, intend to accuse him, at this juncture, as a Director of DSS that colludes against the Fulani, simply because he remains resolute in his stance and crackdown operations on insurgency and terrorist networks that have continued to ravage villages and communities in Plateau State.
Another question we are asking is, for over five years, the DSS has established its FORWARD OPERATION BASE iin Wase LGA— areas dominated by Fulani and Hausa — and its operations commendably, at great risk to officers and men, have greatly degraded bandit-terrorist cells as same has enhanced the safety of residents there. Why did these groups not accuse the State Director of collaborating with local militias to attack terrorists who have also been identified as Fulani in those areas? Where were these so-call concerned groups of Fulani not crying aloud over biased until now that the same intelligence-led operations are penetrating and daring the long suffered terror attacks, killings, displacements and disruption of livelihoods of the people of Plateau State in Barkin Ladi, Bassa, Bokkos, Jos South Mangu, Riyom and others by the same terrorist gangs and their networks and why is the DSS only accused now of taking sides in areas dominated by indigenous peoples?
*OUR STANCE*
The world has seen and can testify to the propaganda machinery and the sheer strategy of war adopted in the ongoing atrocities being committed against indigenous communities and other law abiding citizens in Plateau State by Fulani militants. The glorifying evidence is mounting, including confessional statements of arrested terrorists both in Plateau and other States should outrightly be thrown off the table of the Federal , State and Local Government as well as the general public and, indeed, the International Community.
The propaganda being launched by these Fulani groups must never be accepted as truth without independent verification.
We challenge anyone concerned about human rights and religious freedom to demand proof, not frivolous manipulation.
As the Coalition of Plateau State Indigenous Youth Bodies, we are ready, and we hereby call on anyone to put to test everything we have said through an independent and impartial inquiry to ascertain the factual truth of our assertions.
This is something the Fulani groups have consistently failed to do, including as recently as January this year, when they gathered at the Miyetti Allah office in Barkin Ladi during a visit by the New York Times — a platform that has proven to be biased against Nigerian indigenous groups — and could not provide a single piece of evidence to substantiate their claims.
We stand firmly with the DSS, Mobile Police and Operation Rainbow. We will not be distracted by propaganda, neither shall we back out because of terror. Plateau is our heritage, which shouldn’t be a SAFE HAVEN for terrorists and their cohorts.
