No fewer than ten people were killed by armed terrorists who raided some communities in the Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Although the State Police Command and Operation Safe Haven have yet to respond to the news, Farmasum Fuddang, Chairman of the Bokkos Cultural News Council (BCDC), stated that the attacks occurred Wednesday night. They started in Mongor and progressed to Daffo, Manguna, Hurti, and Tadai villages.
A similar terrorists attack occurred six days ago in the Ruwi community, where ten people were shot dead and three others were injured while attending a wake-keeping ceremony.
Speaking on the latest attack, Fuddang said, “There were attacks yesterday, and five villages were affected. It started in Mongor, but the attackers were chased out by security forces. They then moved to Daffo and attacked the community, but security swiftly responded and chased them out. After Daffo, they went to Manguna, Hurti, and Tadai villages and launched attacks.
“In just one week, we have lost over 20 community members due to these marauding terrorists. On April 2 alone, they killed over 10 people. All thanks to the Nigerian military and police for their swift response to distress calls, which helped minimise casualties.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to the victims of the recent invasions in Ruwi, Mangor, Daffo, Manguna, Hurti, and Tadai. We call on emergency agencies such as NEMA, SEMA, and the Nigerian Red Cross to swiftly provide relief to the displaced and injured.”
