National Publicity Secretary of the Irigwe Development Association, Davidson Malison said the attackers invaded the community in their numbers at about 2am on Friday.
“The attackers are not new to us, they are Fulani militias who have been terrorising us” Malison said.
Efforts to get the Plateau State Police Command for confirmation was unsuccessful as the Command’s Spokesman ASP Gabriel Ubah, has not been responding to calls.
As at the time of filing in this report, tension is mounting in the Miango axis of Bassa Local Government area following the attack.
