No fewer than 25 persons have been confirmed dead following a late-night attack on Kawel village in Mushere District of Bokkos Local Government Area in Plateau State.
The assault, which occurred around midnight last Sunday, was carried out by suspected herdsmen who stormed the community while residents were asleep. Witnesses said the attackers fired sporadically, forcing villagers to flee into nearby bushes.
The Chairman of Bokkos Local Government Area, Samuel Amalau, confirmed the incident in a telephone interview, stating that the assailants struck at about 12:00 midnight. He disclosed that the attackers also invaded a Primary Health Care Centre in the community, killing four persons.
