Gunmen Attack Plateau Community, Kill Six

No fewer than six people have been killed after gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen attacked a community in Bassa Local Government Area, in Plateau State.

The attack, which lasted for several hours, comes less than 24 hours after the imposition of a curfew by Governor Simon Lalong.

The ugly incident was said to have happened on Saturday night in Taagbe village, near Kent Academy in Bassa LGA, leaving many houses burnt down.

Prior to the attack, there were reports of attacks in a community near Jos Wild Life Park, five kilometres away from Taagbe village.

“God should intervene and save us from these Fulani boys. During the attack, they came in several numbers, swooped on the villagers at midnight and struck,” an eye witness who confirmed the attack said.
