Renewed attacks in Zango village and Wase town, both in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State, had by the last count Monday night claimed at least 25 persons.

It was gathered that a group of armed youths alleged to be Tarok attempted to ambush Wase town Monday afternoon but were repelled by the community’s youths and vigilante groups.

Speaking on the incident, a youth leader from Wase, Shafi'i Sambo, said: “Shortly after we completed Zuhur prayers we heard gunshots being fired into our community and everybody started running, but we were able to chase the militants across Zango and burnt their camps around the area.”

Sambo explained further: “Five of our youths are dead and we brought back their corpses while I saw about 20 corpses that did not belong to us and must be the Tarok's.

He said about seven of his kinsmen were rushed to the Wase General Hospital for treatment.

Also, a member of a community development association from Yelwan Shendam, Abdullahi Danbaba, said he narrowly escaped the attack while on his way to Yelwa.

A Tarok traditional ruler, Ponzhi Kumbwang of Wase LGA, Jessey Pyenkwam, who spoke to newsmen on the phone said that he had been informed that much of the Zango settlement have been razed. He expressed bitterness over the crisis.

He said: “It is sad that this crisis has taken this turn. It is even more sad that it is being seen as a Tarok-Fulani confrontation because both communities need each other.”

Spokesman of the Special Task Force (STF), Salisu Mustapha confirmed last night that there had been attacks around Wase but did not know the casualties recorded.

Mustapha said: “There were disturbances on the outskirts of Wase but I have no report on the casualties,” adding that the disturbances have been brought under control.

Naija has become a death corridor for d citizen...u re alive 2day just becos u ve nt fallen victim... May God save us

Now this is a Fulani's settlement that was razed with 27 Fulanis killed and perhaps mostly women and children, and we won't hear cries. But when they sneak in tomorrow night to avenge the death of their people, noise makers will remember to start crying blue murder. I also read the "perfect" excuse given above for killing 27 of them right in their settlement and yet nobody killed in the "ambush".

Those are men that have the courage to defend their territories and don't even mind dying for the territory, not bolting to that coast of many ivories.

While I do not support shedding of blood of any sort, the fact that the Fulanis have painted themselves as aggressors is the reason everybody cries when they attack. Any attack of the Fulani is seen as retaliatory and not offensive.

While retaliatory attacks are not justified, the Fulanis have a great work to do in other for people to have confidence in them again as neighbors.

Please they should stop these unnecessary killings.

Gowon come and see your ONE NIGERIA ooooo. This is just the beginning!

I am tired of horrible news emanating from that part of the country....... But wait is it that they ' ve ran out of quran pages to memorize so they are bored ? I think they are extremely emotional, volatile people who say they follow a faith filled with peace & yet their holy book advocates violence ! If ee dey pain anybody where be muslim make him go jam e head for wall.

alienware: I am tired of horrible news emanating from that part of the country.......

It is not a horrible news, the news coming out from middle Belt is a normal thing. Middle Belters are Slave of Fulani/Hausa, and they must remain Slave forever, To them it is an Honour to be killed by Fulani or Hausa.

Painful as these killings maybe, it is a sign of the end-time. As for the amnesty thing, it will soon become a ministry with full portfilo of office. God bls Nigeria.
