15 Dead as Gunmen Attack Plateau Community in Bloodshed
Jos- No less than fifteen humans have murdered in the Gidan Ado community of Ganawuri, in the RiyomLGA of Plateau State while others injured and now hospitalised.
Recall that just a year ago, armed tamperers disrupted Christmas celebrations in various communities across the Mangu, Barkin Ladi, and Bokkos Local Government Areas of the state; and to that end, these series of community and stakeholder meetings by security agencies have been organized within the state, which can guarantee that this year will not be a repeat performance.
But the armed men made a mockery of all this and attacked the place, where the people were mostly Irigwe of Bassa LGA in the state, and cause havoc to lives and property.
Though not yet giving any information about the incident by both the state Police Command and Operation Safe Haven, OpSH, the Chairman of the Riyom council, Mr. Sati Shuwa has already confirmed the incident in a phone call to Vanguard.
Spokesman of the OpSH, Major Samson Zhakom, could not be reached at press time, and that of the Police, Alfred Alabo, said the investigation was ongoing to ascertain the true situation.

But ‘Shuwa’ said, “The community was attacked on Sunday night. Fifteen person were killed, we just left the community. A mass burial had been given to the victims, and two survivors are undergoing treatment in a hospital.”
“In summary of the National Publicity Secretary of the Irigwe Development Association, IDA: ‘It happened last night at Ri Do (aka Gidan Ado), one of the hamlets within Riyom LGA, Plateau State predominant to Irigwe natives from Bassa LGA’.
“Our hearts bleed for the demise of our kinsmen whom we thought to spend this yuletide together, doing good but instead, their lives are cut short. May their souls rest in peace with our maker and God’s.
