Area have been attacked by gunmen who reduced
them to rubbles. The attack was confirmed Tuesday
evening by member representing Riyom Constituency in
the Plateau State House of Assembly, Mr. Daniel Dem
who gave the names of the villages as Tse and Shong. "I can authoritatively confirm to you that as I am
talking to you now, the same gunmen from top of the
mountains have attacked two more villages. The two villages, Tse and Shong have been reduced to
ruin with no house standing. The gunmen came in their
usual style with sporadic shooting. "The villagers were scared and they ran out of their
houses and the gunmen set the houses ablaze
rendering them homeless and increasing the number of
displaced people he said. He said about 140 corpses were strewn all over the
area now because people are afraid to go and pick
them up for burial since Sunday's attack on the burial
procession. Meanwhile, the Plateau State Government has relaxed
the curfew imposed in four local government areas of
the state by five hours. It announced after a State
Security Council meeting on Tuesday that the curfew
would now be from 6pm to 7am.
