Unknown gunmen stormed Kogwom village in Vom district of Jos south local government area, Plateau State, killing 10 individuals and leaving two others fatally injured.

The gunmen attacked a family compound where 10 members of the family were killed in cold blood while two others sustained gunshot wounds after which the attackers routed their escape through surrounding environs.

The special task force in a press release signed by Lieutenant Kingsley Egbo confirmed the gruesome murder of the family stating that efforts by the force and police to gain access to the scene with a view to combing the area for possible trace of the attackers were foiled by the locals.

Two members of the family were fortunate to be alive and are receiving treatment at the Vom Christian hospital.

Meanwhile, angry youths continue to protest the incessant killings in the area.

Reports from the community indicates that the family lost a grandmother few days ago and gathered for the preparation of her funeral which informed the large presence of the members in the compound as the assailants attacked in the night after a family meeting.

Reacting to the attack, Special Adviser to governor Jonah Jang on media and Publicity Ayuba Pam who was at the scene described the incident as barbaric and inhuman stressing that government will not rest in the search for lasting peace in the state.

Wild Wild West ... oh dear Jos!

May God have mercy upon us.

Callous!!! Whatever anyone sows, they will reap, so whoever did this should be ready! God is patient, not slow!

This tribal war stated from JOs,low level of security in dis our country is heartbreakin, if nor be GOD----

The unknown gunmen are likely to be Fulanis. These cattle rearers and also weapon weilders.

men are equal to the devil.

What goes around will surely come around n what goes up must come down! No two ways bout it

How one wishes their spirits will torment their murderers! This so pathetic seems to be the norm in plateau state{truth be told}. Its almost like one week one trouble{tony one week sort of situation}. May their souls rest in peace!

Yvete: Wild Wild West ... oh dear Jos!

jos na yoruba land?just asking make i no miss road

May God deliver us all from hands of gun men. Thank God south West is always peace and all Northern pple have their good living here.

okkkkkkk.....with all these killings since like FOREVER and "Jagajanga in the middle of all this -i.e. the supposedly no. 1 chief security officer of the state- ; dunno, i think the puzzle is sorta fitting together....! i mean why would people's live(s) be so negligible such as this height of madness happening in Unjost...! Maybe sumone needs to be impeached (or resign voluntarily)since no progress in security has been made since he's been bleeping in charge of the state....!
Awon oloshi......

man is the most cruel among all the animals.

The most annoying part is that: if you try to find out what those people did that caused their untimely death, you'll never find anything. Some people dont see others as their fellow humans. SMH!

Fulaniiiiiii poweraaaaaa......Gowon should go on with one Nigeria why the fulani herdsmen continue with the principles of one Nigeria. This is just the beginning.

Speechless...

Speechless

Oh my naija! So you went on to reveal the hospital d 2 survivors/eye witness are?! So d public can come pay courtesy visits or so d killers can come finish wat dey started! How callous of our security agencies!

It's not like the killers are unknown. These Fulani guys have been attacking those villages for years now. The fact that the media (in the usual mien) keep saying "unknown gunmen" doesn't hide the truth from those who are conversant with the issues on the ground. Very sad situation.

Hmmmmm... There was a time when a murder of this sort is rare,a very big taboo and greatly mourned by almost everyone. Now,it's like an everyday news,it has become so common that one can even predict what sympatizers will say,nothing short of "RIP, the wicked notherners,God will judge the muderers,etc". At the end,everybody will go back to their daily routines as if nothing ever happenend, patiently waiting for another news of the sort. Someone once told me that d end is so near and now I wish the end had come long ago. This world is full of shit.

To tink i left vom day b4 yestaday. I rememba d security man in d site i worked tellin me not 2 stay till dusk. 4rm what he said, it is dangerous nd he knows what his are capable of doin. So i don't really beliv it has anytin 2 do wit d fulanis.

lacasa:


U were there wen it happened i can see.


F.ool

God bless u.

May their souls and the souls of d faithful departed thru d mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Enough is enough. Since govt. Cannot help, the people should help themselves by way of securing themselves. They should also acquire weapons for self defense. If u are in Jew u behave somehow like the Jewish.

Oh, another bad news.

Again!
