UPDATE: BANDITS ATTACK PLATEAU COMMUNITY AGAIN, KILLS FATHER, SON
Another attack by attackers in Durbi village, Shere district, and Jos East local government area resulted in the deaths of two people.
The incident occurs at a time when the state is still grieving over the deaths of over 170 people in the Christmas Eve attacks on the local government regions of Barkin-Ladi and Bokkos.
Markus Nyam, the head of the Transition Implementation Committee, reaffirmed this on Sunday, stating that a father and his kid were killed when the attackers broke into the community on Saturday night.
Nyam added that one of the attackers was killed, and the others escaped as a consequence of the community’s vigilantes’ efforts to confront the criminals.
The Joint Security Task Force Operation Safe Haven personnel also responded to the community’s distress call, preventing the attackers from causing more damage.
