BREAKING: Three pregnant women among 13 killed In Plateau community attack
No fewer than 13 persons have been reportedly killed while several others sustained injuries after gunmen attacked Ngbra Zongo community in Kwall District of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The deadly attack was said to have occurred around midnight on Friday while residents were asleep in their homes.
A resident of the community, Mr Philip Alanga, said the attackers stormed the area and began shooting indiscriminately, forcing terrified residents to flee for safety.
“They came into the community and started shooting. They moved from one house to another attacking innocent people,” he said.
Another resident, Mr Chigoji Rocku, disclosed that three pregnant women were among those killed during the assault.
The Secretary-General of the Irigwe Development Association, Mr Danjuma Auta, confirmed the incident and described the attack as tragic and condemnable.
Auta decried the repeated attacks on communities in Bassa Local Government Area and other parts of Plateau State, urging security agencies to intensify efforts to protect lives and property, particularly in rural areas.
He also called on security operatives to track down those responsible for the killings and ensure they are brought to justice in order to prevent further violence in the area.
