FIVE KILLED IN PLATEAU COMMUNITY FRESH ATTACK
On Wednesday night, a fresh attack in the Hwrra community, Kwall district, and Irigwe Chiefdom of the Bassa local government area of Plateau State claimed five lives and three houses.
The incident happened at the time residents had retired to bed, and one survivor is now hospitalized.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Irigwe Development Association, IDA, Sam Jugo, confirmed the incident as he said, ” There was an attack on the night of 26th June 2024 at about 10 p.m. by criminal elements suspected to be Fulani herders at Hwrra, Kwall axis, Bassa LGA.
“The incident claimed the lives of five innocent Rigwe souls, namely: Mrs. Jummai Matthew, 67 years old; Martha Danladi, 13 yrs, Meshack Matthew, 18 yrs, Bari John, 30 yrs, and Robert Sunday, 7 yrs.
“Maryamu Sunday was severely injured and presently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed medical facility. Three houses were also razed down.”
He noted the incident is “heartbreaking, wicked, condemnable, unprovoked, and coming at a time that all well-meaning Rigwe natives are working tirelessly to ensure peace reigns at home and environs.
“The leadership of the Irigwe Development Association conveys words of comfort to the immediate families and all Rigwe brethren at home and in the diaspora. May God comfort us even as we trust that the security agencies will do the needful.”
