Gunmen in the early hours of Wednesday defied the 24-hour curfew imposed by the Plateau State government to attack Kwahaslalek and the surrounding communities, killing no fewer than 25 persons and burning some property too.

Although the information was yet to be ascertained from official sources, a resident, Hosea Ibrahim, said the skirmish that happened in Mangu town was a decoy to pave the way for the attack on the community, which is not far from the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC permanent orientation camp at Jakatai, Mangu local government area.

His words: “What happened at Sabon Gari and Mangu on Tuesday was just a distraction so that people’s attention will be shifted away from the villages.

“For the second time, my village Kwahaslalek (behind the NYSC camp) was attacked at about 12:30, leaving over 25 people, mostly women and children, killed as houses were burned and some persons left with gunshots.

“At about midnight, there was a sporadic gunshot, and the women ran to one compound for safety; unfortunately, the terrorist went there and killed them while the men were keeping vigil outside the community. The victims were killed at a community leader’s house, where they ran for refuge.

“The Mariana, Kinat, and other communities in Mangu Halle District and those on the borders of Mangu and Barkin Ladi local government areas are deserted now.”

However, security personnel who preferred anonymity said, “Mangu town is calm, but we were called in the early hours of today about a development around the communities close to the NYSC camp; our people are there, but the deed has been done.

“The victims are mostly women and children; they ran to hide there because they thought the place was far and the attackers wouldn’t go there, but the attackers were conveyed in a vehicle and dropped there before they attacked.”

I think it is plausible for everyone to defend themselves.

JAMO84:
Nigerians are willfully killing their fellow Nigerians, let us just act like it's normal to blame everything on the government failure to secure the country.


Meanwhile, Asiwaju should know that the north will not indulge him like they indulged Buhari, very soon, they will say he's the one sending terrorists to kill them.

He needs to deal ruthlessly with these killers and kidnappers.70% of Nigerian Christians are praying for him to fail, so they can laugh at the Muslim Muslim ticket.

Lagbaja n his co travellers are idiots!!
They should be sacked, i don't know why the president is silent on issue bordering security and i hope he is not on a revenge mission because they didn't vote him.

Thief'nubu must be sacked walahi..if not this killers will continue unabated mercilessly..

Who ever thought that a cocain sniffing fraudulent certificate forger slave will do better than his Master poo'hari is sick in the head & soul..

These killings & massacre will reach a whole New level under the roasted electricity fraud because he has nothing..i mean he dare not go against those who put him there..

The terrorists know exactly what they are doing..if they had continued so mercilessly under poo'hari..people will say afterall their kinsman is in power..so they relaxed a bit waiting for their slave to Grab power..

..so no one will say that it is because their fulani kinsman is in power...but now they will say an emilokan balablu has power & has nothing to do with fulani domination, massacre & landgrabbing..

Thief'nubu must be impeached if Nigerians wants to experience security while still alive..

RIP to the dead
