Despite Curfew, Suspected Herdsmen Kill Six In Bassa, Jos North
Despite a dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed in Bassa LGA of Plateau State, gunmen suspected of being Fulani herders attacked Chando-Zirechi (Tafi-Gana) of Miango District of the LGA late Tuesday night, murdering five people.
“As the Irigwe nation continues to receive attacks from left right and centre, over the unfortunate incident at Rukuba road, where innocent commuters which the Irigwe nation knows nothing about, and we have continued to distance ourselves from the ungodly act as peace looters,” Comrade Danjuma Dickson Auta, Secretary General of the Irigwe Development Association, told DAILY POST.
“Yet, last night, 17th August 2021, one of our villages, Chando-Zrrechi (Tafi-Gana), was attacked last night by Fulani Herdsmen.
“Five people confirmed dead so far at Tafi Gana village of Miango District Irigwe Chiefdom”.
He added that, “this is apart from another son of Irigwe killed at Dong village of Jos North LGA, in the evening of 16th August 2021, despite the 24 hour curfew imposed on the council.”
Auta called on security operatives and the government to put a stop to the rampant attacks meted on their communities.
“If nothing is done to avert this ugly trend, Irigwe people will be wiped out. We see this as ethnic cleansing”, he decried.
