No fewer than seven people have been reportedly shot dead while many others sustained injuries after some bandits invaded a market in Zurak Campani, Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State.

It was learnt that the incident occurred on the market day when the community was bubbling with commercial activities.

Abdullahi Hussaini, a youth leader in the area who confirmed the incident, told Daily Trust that the gunmen arrived at the market around 2pm on Sunday and suddenly opened fire on the people transacting businesses.

He said, “The gunmen arrived at the market in their numbers on motorcycles. They started shooting sporadically, killing seven people instantly while many others were injured. The gunmen successfully launched the attack and fled without any resistance because people were not expecting any security threat at the moment.

“The gunmen fled to the bush but police personnel have been deployed to the community to restore law and other. We are calling on more security deployment in the area because we don’t know what may happen anytime soon,” the youth leader said.

The spokesperson for the state police command, DSP Alabo Alfred, didn’t not respond to the inquiries by our correspondent.

Gowon's home state

Paulruth:
That weakling Gowon

Namaster:
These catastrophic and avoidable loss of MULTIPLE lives on a daily basis now seem normal.

7 people murdered and many of the injured will still die because of inadequate healthcare and the government of the day will continue to act like it's not a big deal.

For instance, the reaction of the Police to the situation is laughable. People were murdered and they were deployed to the community to "restore law and order".

Funny!

They should HUNT down the terrorists and make bullets rain down upon them like the Holy Ghost.

Nigeria needs to be TOUGHER on crimes!

The results would be outstanding. Nigeria would be safer and the economy would boom. Insecurity is killing people and killing the economy at the same time.

Tinubu needs to deal with it.
