Gunmen kill three villagers in fresh Plateau attack

No fewer than three people were killed on Sunday in Rafin Bauna village of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The victims were reportedly on their way from Dutsen Kura to Rafin Bauna when they were ambushed and killed by assailants.

Governor Lalong, who condemned the act, described the attack as yet another callous attempt by the enemies of peace to begin the new year with violence.

He said the state government would resist such attempts with all resources available to it.

Lalong asked the security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that the assailants are fished out and brought to justice as the government is committed to making life difficult for criminals.

The Governor sympathised with the families of the victims and assured them that justice will be done.

ASP Ubah Gabriel, the spokesman of the state police command, did not respond to a text message from our correspondent on the incident, as of the time of filing this report.
