Nigeria Plateau Cleric Shot Dead After Sunday Service in Fresh Security Shock

Gunmen killed Rev. Musa Likita in Plateau State’s Kwahaslalek community on Sunday. The attack follows ongoing insecurity in Bokkos LGA, raising urgent questions about safety for religious leaders and residents.

• Rev. Likita was shot at his residence hours after conducting service at the RCCN church.
• Locals claim soldiers stationed nearby failed to intervene during the attack.
• The area has seen repeated violence despite federal assurances of improved security.
  

“People here no longer sleep with both eyes closed,” a resident said. Fear and distrust linger as security promises continue to fall flat in Plateau’s rural communities.

Will this killing trigger serious action, or blend into a long list of unresolved rural attacks? What will it take for local lives to matter?
