Four persons were killed on Saturday
when some suspected Fulani herdsmen invaded Gwande village in Manguna
district of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Our correspondent gathered that six
Fulani herdsmen had invaded the village and attacked a house, killing
two people. The residents were said to have mobilised and launched a
counter attack, during which process two of the invaders were killed.
A former councillor that represented the
area, Mr. Arut Bulus, told our correspondent on Sunday that the
herdsmen, vowing to revenge the killing of two of the attackers, were
regrouping to carry out another attack.
Bulus said the villagers had abandoned their homes for fear of further attacks.
He said, “Right now, the villagers have
all fled their homes because a report came to us that some armed Fulani
herdsmen are coming through the forest to attack our people.”
The state Police Public Relations
Officer, Mrs. Felicia Anselm, told our correspondent on Sunday that
though she had yet to get the report, the police would mobilise their
men to ward off any further attack.
“I will call my boss now to inform him
of the development, and I am sure we will do everything to prevent any
further attack,” she said
Meanwhile, a member representing Jos
North/Bassa in the Federal House of Representatives, Mr. Suleiman
Kwande, has inaugurated a community police post in Kabong, Jos North
Local Government Area, Plateau State.

This is much enough problem for Plateau State governor - Jang, but he prefers going on fighting for a nonsensical association called the "Nigerian Governors Forum" (NGF). The chairmanship he never won.
ReplyDeleteLeave Jang, he will soon face the wrath of his doings.
ReplyDeletewhich wrath? he is not responsible for the killings.
ReplyDeletepeople should choose to live in peace with one another.
please leave Jang alone.
