 As the search for total peace intensifies in Platou state, the commissioner of the Special Military Task Force Operation Safe Heaven, Major-General Dominic Oyemelu, has taxed community leaders in the Berum and Fulani communities to ensure their subjects are law-abiding. He said this during the signing of a memorandum of understanding by the two communities in Riyam and just south local governments. The commander urged the various community leaders to take charge of securing lives and property in their domain. Community leaders, you need for you to interact among yourself and then use the traditional mechanisms that you have been using all along to ensure peace and security in your area and at the same time to fish out vices amongst your people. In their submission, the Fulani community asked that night graysen be banned and that they should be allowed to return to the other's place communities, while the Berum chiefs urged the Platou state government to fully implement a white paper on a peace meeting released in 2015. There was a white paper issue by the government of Platou state concerning this peace. Coincidentally, all those things that were discussed, it's similar to what we discussed the last time we came. In fact, almost everything is in that report. That's the golden white paper. Unfortunately, that paper has not been implemented. We condemn in strong terms the destructions of farm produce and night graysen. The activities are carried out by some few disgruntled elements among us. Nature should be taken to stop them. Representative of the Platou state government and chairman of the state peace building agency, Joseph Lengman, etched the parties to respect the accord, as the government would do everything within its past to bring last-hand peace to the area. The white paper released by the government in 2015 was indeed instructive in the sense that some of the issues underlying the conflict require policy response. And the government actually took that step, setting the committee, you yourself decided on what needs to be done and the government adopted it. The berums of Platou North have been at loggerheads with the Fulonese since the crisis of September 2001. Lives in property were destroyed and thousands displaced from their original abode.
