Terrorists Burn 11 Villagers To Death In Plateau
At least, eleven villagers were, on Tuesday night, burnt to death by suspected terrorists who attacked Chisu village in Mangu Local Government of Plateau State.
The victims reportedly ran to a house in the village for safety after they heard sporadic gunshots in the community around 11 O’Clock in the night but the attackers pursued them to the place and set the house on fire leading to their death.
A resident of the community identified as Michael Bulus, who escaped the attack, confirmed the death of the villagers in Jos on Wednesday.
He said the terrorists also burnt a Church along Mangu-Bokkos Road, and other properties before escaping.
According to Bulus, “Last night, terrorists attacked Chisu village of Mangu Local government at about 11:00 pm.
“When the terrorists arrived in the community, there were sporadic gunshots, and the people started running. Some of them ran to a house belonging to a community leader. Unfortunately, the house was set ablaze by the terrorists, and 11 burnt-dead bodies were later discovered this morning (Wednesday).
“The COCIN Regional Church Council Bwai along Mangu Bokkos road in the local government was also burnt by the terrorists along with other houses, vehicles, and tricycles before they fled the community.”
The Plateau State Police Command spokesperson, Alabo Alfred, did not pick up his calls when contacted on the incident.
However, sources at the command headquarters in Jos confirmed that more security operatives had been deployed to the affected community following reports.
