Seven persons have been killed in four separate attacks by gunmen in Plateau State.
It was learnt that while four young men were shot dead in an ambush by gunmen in Adu village and one killed in Miango town, all in the Bassa Local Government Area, two other persons were shot dead by gunmen in the Jos North and Mangu council areas, respectively.
They said the latest attacks on the communities underscored the growing insecurity in the council area, which, they said, had witnessed attacks by gunmen in recent weeks, with no fewer than 15 persons killed and properties worth millions of naira destroyed. “Three of them, Emmanuel Kure, 24; Chohu Nyangu, 25 years; and Friday Musa 26 years, died on the spot from bullet wounds while the forth one, Anta Yakubu, 26 years, later died at Enos Hospital, Miango where he was rushed to.
“About an hour after the ambush in Adu village, gunmen broke into the house of one Abdullahi Yusuf in Miango town and shot him dead. That is the terrible situation our people have found themselves.”
