One of the journalists said that their vehicle was badly damaged by the miscreants during the attack.

"We thank God because if the attack was successfully executed, our organization would have been burying seven of their dedicated staff but thank God we survived by the whisker. We ran into a road block which we all thought was manned by the police and vigilante just to be descended upon by the miscreants who came out from every direction." he said.

Reacting to the incident, the Chairman of Nigeria Union Journalists (NUJ) Plateau State Council, Paul Jatau condemned the unwarranted assault on the newsmen and called on security operatives to be alert.

Dont call them that name, call them Muslim boys out for revenge.

All deaths in Plateau state was by unknown gun men till Fulanis heading to Kwara state through an obviously wrong road(a road that led to Irigwe land) with guns in their cars were killed and we suddenly heard Irigwe people revenge.


The media is one sided, Nigeria government is one sided, because the Governor permitted it and he has not seen the peace that he sacrificed his people for till today.
