Protest as gunmen kill vigilantes in Plateau







原文原文 / Original Text

Tension erupted in Kassa community, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, on Friday morning after gunmen killed three vigilantes, including the youth leader of the community.

Women and youth in the community blocked the major Jos-Barikin Ladi Highway protesting against the attack.

The attackers reportedly stormed the community at about 1am on Friday and opened fire, killing the three vigilantes who were keeping watch on the community.

The development came four days after the state government imposed dusk-to-down curfew in three LGAs, including Barikin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu to restore normalcy after reports of attacks and killings in the areas.

Speaking on the latest development, a resident of the community, John Dung, told our correspondent that the victims were members of a local vigilante group, who had been involved in efforts to safeguard residents from attacks.

He said the killing of the vigilantes sparked anger among residents, particularly women and youths, who took to the streets and blocked the major highway linking the community with Mangu.
