killed, yesterday, when gunmen attacked two
communities around Ganawuri in Riyom Local
Government Area of Plateau State. He was among the security personnel posted
to the area to maintain peace following the
outbreak of violence. Eyewitnesses said the gunmen stormed Da
Jak and Attakar communities setting their
houses on fire and gunning them down as
they tried to flee. The state’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris
Olakpe, confirmed the killing of the corporal
identified as Jubrin Sule, saying he was on a
peace mission to the area. He said no arrest had been made but
investigations had commenced into the
attack. Also confirming the attack, a member
representing Riyom Constituency in the
Plateau State House of Assembly, Mr. Daniel
Dem, said dozens were killed but could not
give the exact number. He lamented the continuous attack on his
people without the security men on ground
doing anything to protect them. He reaffirmed his earlier call for a review of the
security arrangement which he said was not
yielding expected result.
