Fresh attack on Te’egbe village of Miango District in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State has left no fewer than 10 persons including children killed. Many others sustained injuries.
This followed attack by suspected Fulani herdsmen who invaded the community in the early hours of Friday. The attackers also set many houses ablaze.
The attack has been condemned by the state Governor Simon Lalong. He decried the efforts by the criminals to instill fear, pain and sorrow on the people with a view to destabilising the state and making fortune from their criminality as well as rupturing the substantial peace in the state.
A statement by the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, Simon Makut, said security agencies had been directed to deploy personnel and everything at their disposal to apprehend those behind the attack.
