Captain of theSuper Eagles, Ahmed Musa, has begged on behalf of Plateau residents to put an end to the ongoing killings in the state. Taking to his Instagram page on Thursday, Musa called for unity in the state.
According to reports, over 30 persons were killed and many houses were destroyed yesterday in Kwahaslalek and surrounding communities in Mangu by gunmen, despite the 24-hour curfew imposed on the local government area by the Plateau State government.
He wrote, ‘A Heartfelt Plea for Peace in Plateau’, Musa wrote: “Dear Plateau Family and Nigerians as a whole, our state is hurting, and we need to come together.
“The fights, the killings– it’s too much. We are all one big family, no matter our religion. Most families in Plateau have both Christians and Muslims. We should be celebrating our differences, not fighting because of them.
“Let’s ask our leaders to focus on what really matters: keeping us safe and bringing back the peace we once had. Plateau used to be known as the Home of Peace and Tourism. We want that back.
“So, let’s stand side by side, no matter our religion. Hold hands, pray, and ask for peace. We can do this if we all work together."
Musa who is currently on duty with the Super Eagles at the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire also called on Nigerians to stand side by side, no matter their religion.
