20 killed in Plateau fresh attack •Scores of houses burnt •24 hrs curfew imposed •NYSC members relocated


THE entire Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State was in mourning,

on Thursday, following a clash between the Fulani and the natives Berom,leading to the death of no fewer than 20 people, with several houses burnt.

To stem the hostilities, the state government has, therefore, imposed 24-hour curfew on the affected local government area, while members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in the council had been relocated to the state capital.

The latest crisis was in connection with the clashes between the natives and the Fulanis on Monday, leading to the death of seven people and since the incident, there had been reprisal, thereby heightening tension in the council and other surrounding local government areas.

Nigerian Tribune learnt that the incident got to its peak in the early hours of Monday, when the two groups confronted each other over the killing of two people in a place of worship.

It was learnt that as a result of the commotion that ensued, the two re-grouped and mobilised, leading to killings and burning of property at random, while the incident further spread out to the interior parts of the council.

In the clash, a police inspector with the police division in the council, Mr Dalyop Pindar; his wife and four children of a councillor, Mr Pam Choj, were killed and their residences set ablaze.

At the time of filing this report, the people of the area were still counting their losses, with bodies of those killed being picked at various parts of the council, while those who sustained injuries were recuperating at health centres within the local government.

The incident cut off people in the central and southern parts of the state from assessing the state capital, as a result of the curfew imposed on the area by the state government.

Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune by telephone, the chairman of the council, Mr Emmanuel Loman, condemned the incident, adding that security agencies had been drafted to the areas.

The Special Task Force (STF) Information and Media Officer, Captain Charles Ekeocha, confirmed the incident to the Nigerian Tribune by telephone.

The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr Abraham Yiljap, who spoke to journalists in Jos, on Thursday, said a 24-hour curfew had been imposed on Barkin Ladi and adjoining areas.

This got nothing to do with Jonathan, what is happening in Middle Belt is as a result of Cursed, Middle Belters are Cursed people, the wrath of God is on them

Nothing new in this story. Jos has already earned a reputation in gross violence.

[size=20pt]were dem keep their own Ojukwu?[/size]

Wily¬Wily:

This got nothing to do with Jonathan, what is happening in Middle Belt is as a result of Cursed, Middle Belters are Cursed people, the wrath of God is on them

That is highly fallacious.How did you come about your hypothesis?See,that is the reason why we are where we.Always attributing everything to the spiritual,instead of holding your government accountable.

When will all this killings end? Lord have Mercy.

When is all the violence going to end?

The number of pple killed in Middle belt/North as a result of religious/tribal crisis will soon pass the number of Biafrans killed during the civil war, Yeah! We are one Nigeria, No dulling, Gowon are you watching.

The north isnt a safe pkace anymore

Tribune will always give a skewed story.

this killings has to stop

now what?

The life of the innocent spilled yet again in this Nigeria.

coming from jos

One another,our people deceived us, GOWON should have let go and see now the sins of our fathers have come upon us. " - This is the cry of JOS CITIZENS,who attended the mass funeral of their recently murdered.

dat is serious o! Nigeria is becoming sometin else, may God deliver us.

The north isnt a safe pkace anymore

I wonder if the North has even been safe since the first military coup of Jan 15, 1966 when the North concluded a Southerner-Led military coup was equivalent to a South-North war.

Now with the situation where there seem to be a power shift in the current political landscape and perhaps what looks like break from the strangle-hold of the Northern Hegemony perpetually, i don't see it getting any better.

The paradox here though, is that you can never hear of Northerners down-South singled out for the kind of cool-blood butchery that takes place in the North no matter what. I think the South is too "civilised" for that sort of dumb aggression. This thrend of behavior in my opinion is the key to why we're still hanging unto a circular country and ofcourse the prayers of the people.
