  "summary": "Peter Obi has called for decisive action to end the killings and displacement in Plateau State. According to him, over 45,000 residents have been displaced from their homes in Mangu.\n\nDuring a visit to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, Obi sympathised with thousands of people forced to flee their communities due to insecurity. He described the continued existence of IDP camps as unacceptable and said displaced persons should be assisted to return safely to their homes.\n\nObi also stated that while prayers were important in addressing the country’s security challenges, government action was necessary to end the violence, adding that the people behind the attacks were known and should be stopped.",
