At least 24 people have been killed and several others injured after gunmen attacked Bin Mper community in Kombun District, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The attackers reportedly invaded the community between Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday, moving from house to house and attacking residents. Several victims were killed, while others sustained injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Homes and farmlands were also reportedly destroyed during the attack.
The Mwaghavul Youth Movement confirmed the deaths and condemned the attack, while residents called for stronger security measures to protect vulnerable communities in the area.
A mass burial was held for the 24 victims as women and youths of the community protested the killings and demanded urgent government action. Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang condemned the attack and directed security agencies to intensify surveillance and patrols across Mangu and other vulnerable communities.
