The National President of Mwaghavul Development Association, Joseph Gwankat says death toll has risen to 85 after the deadly attacks on Fungzai and Kubwat villages in Kombun District of Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Speaking to newsmen on Wednesday after a security meeting at the palace of the traditional ruler in Mangu, he explained that the search in the affected communities for missing persons was still ongoing.

The police, however, have yet to give the casualty figure on the attacks in the two villages.

According to him, several communities were attacked by suspected Fulani militias at the same time, leading to killings, burning of houses and the destruction of farmlands in the affected communities, worth millions of naira.

Following the incessant attacks, protesting women besieged the palace of the traditional ruler where the security meeting was being held with security chiefs, district heads, and government officials led by the deputy governor, Professor Sonni Tyoden.

The Mishkcham Mwaghavul, John Putmang, the Council chairman and district heads from the communities, appealed for security reinforcement to the communities to safeguard citizens and their valuables.

According to Joseph Gwankat, “Fifty-seven (57) victims were given a mass burial on Wednesday amid tears by relatives and members of the community who gathered to witness the funeral service.”

I see one guy from this community yesterday, wetin that guy tell me nor be here na government dey give these Fulanis guns and mind to go destroy I swear.

Apc is the best thing that happened to Nigeria! Fulani remains the first class citizens of this haven followed by yoruba! then hausa and other minorities Igbos are 5th class citizens. Peter OBI ordered the killing of these people! He should be arrested!


Tinubu is God's choosen candidate


There is nothing wrong in people getting killed everyday in Nigeria after all our population is much .if you don't like it go to court

I'm yet to see FFK, Omokiri , Garba even that foolish son of Elrufai say anything about this terrible occurrence, but if it's something that is infinitesimal or of no value to the society you will see how this lads will make a mountain out of it, how someone with a working brain supports APC is hard to believe

This Plateau state should be declared a state of emergency without delay. There should be a military governor there for the next 50 years

Nawa o

A wicked nation

Another sad tale...

God have mercy

Gd

Nigerians have voted in the same government that is in charge of handling this menace for the past 8 years to continue trying to solve it for the next 4-8 years.

Nigerians, that’s 16 whole long years of these poor people getting chased away from their ancestral lands and ethnically cleansed. If they picked up arms to defend themselves their government swooped in to disarm and subdue them. The civil war was on for how many years again?

The hypocrites among us keep screaming ‘pick up arms’ , ‘fight back’ , ‘don’t be cowards’ to these poor people but cheer when the same government fires killing shots at unarmed protesters in another region.

People of plateau State reading this thread but not commenting I say a big RIP to your brothers, sisters and babies on your behalf God help us all

Buhari is a monumental failure.

Death is now a normal thing in this country.... nobody care not even official statements anymore....sad....rip to the dead

Blood on the green white green .
Blood all over the land and some humans are talking of swearing in an unconstitutional government?

So sad

Wetin fulani go use eye see after may 29 even God go shock..

May every single person who has a hand in these killing meet the full wrath of God

If this government will tell you it's 100 people, just know that it's 400.
It's really sad how Fulani herdsmen are moving around killing hundreds of people at will on daily basis for no reasonable reason.
Another name for Nigeria is nonsense.
Ghana or Kenya should come and colonize Nigeria, NIGERIA IS NOT FIT TO STAND AS A NATION.
