Some travellers have been stabbed to death in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Daily Trust gathered that the victims were passing through Jos when they ran into the attackers.

Security sources told Daily Trust that at least 15 corpses have been deposited at a morgue of Plateau Specialist Hospital.

Muhammad Ibrahim, one of the passengers, who escaped the attack, said they were in a group of five 18 seater buses, returning from Bauchi State where they attended an event to commemorate the Islamic New Year.

He said the event held at Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, mosque, in Bauchi State.

“We ran into the armed gang at Gada-Biyu area of Jos North Local Government Area,” he said.

The spokesperson of the State Police Command, ASP Ubah Gabriel, told Daily Trust that security operatives had been deployed in the area.

He, however, said he did not have details of the incident and promised to call back as soon as information is available.

When our correspondent visited the hospital, some of the victims were seen being treated while others were referred to Jos University Teaching Hospital.

The State commissioner of Police, Edward Ebuka, and the General Officer Commanding 3rd armoured Division, Secretary to the Government of Plateau State, Prof. Danladi Atu, were also at the hospital.

25 Killed In Plateau Attack

Twenty-Five persons were confirmed killed and 14 injured along Rukuba road in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau state on Saturday morning.

The victims were attacked while travelling from Bauchi en-route Jos to Ikare in Ondo state.

Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong has reacted to the incident in a statement signed by spokesperson Simon Makut.

The Governor condemned the attack and warned troublemakers bent on fomenting trouble in the state to desist as the government will not allow any form of lawlessness to disrupt the peace of the state.

The Governor said that attacks on innocent citizens, no their matter their background, will never be tolerated in the State and those who are found to be behind such attacks will be dealt with decisively to serve as deterrent and restore public order.

The statement added that the Governor has also directed security agencies to swiftly identify and arrest perpetrators.

The spokesperson of Operation Safe Haven, a military task force set up to maintain peace in Plateau State, Major Ishaku Takwa, said 12 persons have been arrested in connection with the incident, while normalcy has been restored in the area.

Recall that some Fulani's were alleged to have attacked a village in bassa LGA of plateau state.

Now travellers [Fulani's] on their journey who knew nothing about the previous attack are attacked by miscreants as a pay back. Life's have been lost. So sad!!!


May you not be punished for a sin you personally no nothing about.

Buhari and APC are difinition of failure.

Jesus! Ah

All roads in the country is now a death trap I thought they have left plateau for benue.

Details later.

Those shedding the blood of the innocents will never no peace and will surely be afflicted with worst suffering.

Am still confused. Where they going to bassa or where? Because unless they were going to bassa, they had no business passing through gada biu from bauchi. There is bauchi road, ungwen rogo or bauchi ring road for them to pass, what took them to gada biu knowing fully well what has been happening along that axis these past weeks? Anyway, most times na innocent people dey fall victim to the aftermath of these crisis

That's the kind of news we hear all the time. Yet, all the security agents are in the South East.

This is too bad.... God save us all

Baba is working.

You're now blaming them for passing the route of their choice and fail to blame your government for not protecting her citizens.

Buhari is doing well. But time shall tell.

DubaiLandLord1:
If bandits like, they can kill all the people in pleateu state, is none of GMB business. He is more concern about Nigeria been one.

GMB would have handled this killer herdsmen with brute force if they are asking for Nigeria to be split

One Nigeria is more important than the lives of Nigerians

do you stay keffi ?

Don't be confused, I said something here few days ago that the Fulanis are putting the lives of other muslims in danger and it is playing out now.

The State commissioner of Police, Edward Ebuka, and the General Officer Commanding 3rd armoured Division, Secretary to the Government of Plateau State, Prof. Danladi Atu, were also at the hospital.

Fulanis attacked Miango days back but non of them visited the area now that the table has turned they are all showing sympathy. Nobody, I repeat nobody can monopolize violence.

No comments from zombies



is it because they no mention Igbo or Ipob here?

Reminds me of Ramadan when I passed through Bauchi to Jos
Tfare was just N800- N1k and went with some luggage so I had to pay for full load
Myself and the driver were inside the car and I opened my eyes till I got to Jos
I never slept or dozed though journey was just less an hour , very lonely road and trust me no checkpoint at all till we got to bauchi- Jos boundary .
Minutes after , we got to Unijos and finally pankshin, old stadium before my mind rested .
Travelling by road in Nigeria of today is perilous

This country has finally gone to the dogs. Buhari came to steal, kill and destroy.

We're are the NL BMC urchins, where is udele1, oyinbgiupdate, monogamy, vulturemeatgrill and other paid online erat. If truly you are sincere, why are these kind of news not a concern to you? The deadmeatgrill place is almost an abbatoir, but you never hear him condemn it because the Fulani has paid for his conscience

may their souls rest in peace
