The attack occurred late on Monday night.

Armed men on Monday night attacked three locations in Barkinladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, killing about 40 people, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in Plateau, Sonja Bewarang, on Tuesday officiated a mass burial of 15 of the corpses at Tatu area of the council on Tuesday.

Mr. Bewarang blamed security operatives for allowing the attack to occur.

Among the victims were pregnant women and children.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported the tension in Barkinladi last week after some Fulani youth were allegedly killed by members of another ethnic group.

The police had said they had stationed officers to prevent the breakdown of law and order in the area.

Hundreds of people have been killed in ethno-religious crisis in Plateau this year with the Special Task Force, a joint operation of all security agencies, unable to prevent the attacks from occurring.

Efforts are ongoing by PREMIUM TIMES reporter in the area to speak to security officials and the state government.

40 people killed

Which way Nigeria?
Gov.Jang is busy playing kangaroo politics in Abuja while his people are deeply involved in manslaughter.

God have Mercy.

Effect of Gowon error

I don't know what to really say,anyways, sorry for the dead.

This is what gowon bargained for, when he was fighting to keep Nigeria one, If he had known that today the blood of his people will be used to quench the bloodthirsty of one Arab god called allah, he wouldn't have fought such a needless war.......karma is a bitch

Its quite unfortunate that they Fulani tribe has constituted a menace to the peace loving people of middlebelt!The scramble for middle-belt and the age long mandate by Usman Dan fodio to his people,urging them to conquer the middle-belt as a process of achieving an eldorado islamic republic is still on...the truth remains that Nigeria can never solve the Boko Haram menace if we do not nip to the bud the issue of Fulani gun men.It remains the single highest source of man power for boko Haram and other terrorist.Boko Haram is Fulani gun men,Fulani gun men is Boko haram.You cant effectively seperate both.

Its well with Naija

this is not breaking news, this is not news at all, not to talk of being a breaking one. It is the regular everyday occurrence in this country. If it is not Boko Haram, it will Fulani herdsmen, if not OPC, it will be MASSOB, if it is not Niger Delta militants, it will be Middle belt warriors. This fraud called Nigeria must come to an end after all the Commander-in-Chief has publicly said that we should not call him Commander-in-Chief again.

What happened to the Langtang generals like Gowon

So sad.
R I P to the dead.
