Six people have been reportedly killed after terrorists attacked two separate communities of Plateau State.
According to The PUNCH, the incident has been confirmed by the spokesman for the military task force in charge of maintaining peace in the state, Capt. Oya James.
It was gathered that the terrorists killed six people across two different communities in the state: two in Wereng village, Kuru community, Jos South Local Government Area, and four in Heipang community, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area.
James said, “For the issue in Kuru community, the commander immediately deployed officers there when we learnt of the attack. But unfortunately, one person was already shot dead before we got there yesterday (Sunday).
“But this morning (Monday) the commander told me that another corpse was discovered in the community. We don’t know those who carried the attacks but from what we gathered, the suspects did not enter the community; it was like they shot at people while they were passing through the community, which led to the death of the victims.
“For the killings in Barkin Ladi, I can tell you that it was as a result of clash between two communities in the area but I will get back to you when I get details of what happened.”
Residents of the Barkin hamlet, who confirmed the deaths, stated four people were killed and several others were injured during the attacks.
