The Nigerian Army has launched a war against ethnic conflict in Plateau

To combat the ethnic strife between farmers and herdsmen in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria's Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, has established a new military force called "Tiger's Tooth."

The Nigerian Army stated in a tweet that the force was established to cope with local government violence, which is increasing the level of security disturbance in the region.

At the time of the inauguration, the Chief of the Nigerian Army addressed the army forces and urged them to remove any security threats to the area and Plateau State as a whole.

Major General Lagbaja advised the soldiers to move swiftly to any location where they are required in order to make sure they had taken every precaution to ensure the safety of the locals.

Additionally, he reaffirmed to the military the community's support for them.

Additionally, the Chief of Army Staff met with representatives from the local administration and urged them to be zealous in "The Great Work of Restoring Peace in Mangu," as he referred to it.

He claimed that even if there is calm in the area, nobody will consider the residents of the town and their families to be content.

Violence has reportedly been reported in the town of Mangu recently.

One of the states in Nigeria that frequently experiences religious, ethnic, and farmer-herdsman conflicts is Plateau State.
