Armed terrorists in Nigeria’s Plateau state have killed 45 defenseless farmers, burned more than a dozen villages, and displaced 27,000 even as military and police stood by, eyewitnesses told The Epoch Times.

“The attack was carried out for several hours without any form of intervention from men of Operation Safe Haven in Jos to curtail it,” said Malison Davidson, national publicity secretary of the Irigwe Development Association, in a statement after the night attack West of Miango town, 12 miles West of Jos.
