Organized by the Church Denominational Leaders Forum and the Plateau State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the walk was both a public outcry and a tribute to those who lost their lives in recent attacks.
Men, women, young people, and the elderly marched through the streets, visibly upset over the worsening security situation in the state.
They carried banners with powerful messages like, “That they die not in vain, Stop the killings, Stop the bloodshed, and Every life matters; let Plateau live.”
The peaceful protest, which was covered by Channels Television, aimed to draw national attention to the crisis.
Organizers said it was sparked by the continued violence in communities such as Ruwi, Hurti, and Zikke in Bokkos and Bassa LGAs, where many were killed in recent attacks.
A church leader who spoke during the walk said, “Their death should not be in vain.”
Both Plateau and nearby Benue State have seen a troubling rise in violence recently, with much of it blamed on armed gangs.
The attacks in April 2025 alone left over 100 people dead—making it one of the worst since the Christmas Eve massacre of 2023, when about 150 people were killed in Bokkos.
KanyiDaily recalls that 51 people killed in a violent attack were recently laid to rest in the Zike community of Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State.
