According to the medis sources, Gunmen on motorbikes killed up to 40 people while torching homes during an attack on a mining village in central Nigeria, officials and residents said Tuesday, in the latest violence to hit a region troubled by resource disputes and intercommunal strife. Plateau police spokesperson Alfred Alabo said armed men, often referred to locally as bandits, fleeing an “aggressive onslaught” by security agents in Bangalala forest of Wase local government area of the state attacked Zurak and Dakai villages late on Monday.
As per the media reports, While seven of the assailants were neutralised by security agents, fleeing gang members killed nine people and burnt down six houses, Alabo said in a statement. Residents say the death toll is much higher. They told Reuters that dozens of gunmen had stormed the village on motorcycles, shooting indiscriminately, abducting an unspecified number of people, and setting houses ablaze. “As they entered our village, they began shooting sporadically at anyone they saw. They killed more than 40 people without any mercy. I managed to escape to a nearby village. Until now, I haven’t seen many of my family members,” said Babangida Aliyu, a resident of Zurak who fled.
