The mass burial of victims killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in several communities in Bassa Local Government of Plateau State was on Tuesday disrupted by a fresh attack which left 25 persons dead.

Those to be given mass burial today were murdered between Thursday, March 8, 2018 when President Muhammadu Buhari paid an official visit to the beleaguered state, and Sunday, March 11.

During the latest attack which took place by 7:00pm on Monday, 11 houses were also razed down.

Persons suspected to be Fulani herdsmen were said to have killed the 25 persons, including three children and two women, in Dundu Village of Kwall District in Bassa LGA of Plateau State.

The spokesperson of Miango Youth Development Association, Lawrence Zongo, confirmed the casualty rate in an interview with The PUNCH in Jos on Tuesday.

He said, “Very sad! Again, Fulani terrorists killed 25 persons in Dundu Village of Kwall District in Bassa LGA of Plateau State.

“Eleven houses were razed down. The villagers were attacked around 7pm yesterday (Monday). Among the victims were three children and two women.

“Others, including two women, are now receiving treatment in a nearby hospital in the community. This is too bad, as we are planning the mass burial of the last attack.

“So far, we have more than 500 Internally Displaced Persons camp. International organisations should please come to our aid.”

When contacted, the spokesperson of Plateau State Police Command, Matthias Tyopev, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, also confirmed the attack , but said the information was sketchy.

According to him, the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Adie Undie, has ordered a Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), Taiwo Jebiyisu, to the scene for an on-the-spot assessment.

He said, “There was an attack yesterday (Monday) in Bassa; as such, the Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, has directed the DCP Taiwo Jebiyisu, a Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Department of Operations, to go to the scene of crime for an on-the-spot assessment.

“As such, he is there now. The information is sketchy. I shall inform you when the details of the attack are made available, please.”

The best thing now is to defend yourself when the need arise. We don't have security in this country.

The question is what does Buhari know?

Am sure he doesn't know his name

And they troupe out enmass to welcome the chief jihadist.sometimes I wonder if its payback time for my middle belt brothers for the major role they played when we wanted to leave the evil Fulani men and their blood soaked country.

Buhari call your men to order.

It may take us up to the start of electioneering campaigns for Buhari to be aware of this latest massacre.
A president that wasn't that the IGP he sent to Benue where 78 people were massacred,was partying next door to him in Abuja,would only be aware of this if probably he visits plateau during the campaigns and someone in the crowd asked him about this latest massacre. I'm

APC govt has failed us. But the PDP themselves are not even ready to put their house in order to wrestle power back from APC.

Third force is needed to take us back to where we were before.

The President is sympathetic to the Fulani militia.
