No fewer than two local vigilante members were killed Wednesday night after suspected gunmen, said to be over 100 in number, attacked Rangarasa village in Rantya community, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
A resident of the area, John Mancha, who witnessed the attack, told journalists in Jos on Thursday that the assailants arrived on motorcycles and opened fire sporadically while attempting to gain access into the community through the Rangarasa axis.
According to him, the attackers moved in large numbers, with three to four armed men riding on each motorcycle.
