Speaking during a live interview on Channels Television on September 19, 2025, the chairman of the Plateau State fact-finding committee warned that the country risks complete collapse if decisive action is not taken to stop years of bloodshed and destruction.
Rogers presented his committee’s report on the Plateau crisis to the state governor after months of research and consultations across all 17 local government areas. He revealed that over 12,000 people have been killed in the state since 2001, stressing that the actual death toll is likely higher.
