Fresh attacks on Tuesday night in the Daffo and Kwatas communities of Bokkos local government area of Plateau State have claimed not less than seven lives, sources say.
Natives had gone on many social media platforms calling for assistance to repel the attackers whom they say were lurking around the communities in the evening of Tuesday. They succeeded in carrying out the attacks at about 7 pm.
The Media Officer of Operation Safe Haven, Major Samson Zhakom said at the time of this report that he was awaiting details of the incident before he could comment. The natives under the aegis of Bokkos Cultural Development Council (BCDC) Vanguard confirmed that the area has been under persistent attacks since May 2024.
The Chairman of the group, Farmasum Fuddang said, “We are deeply saddened by the resurgence of deadly attacks targeting ethnic minorities in the Bokkos Local Government Area. Despite the Nigerian military’s peace agreements, at least 30 murders and over 1,000 crop farm destructions have occurred since May 2024.
“We feel betrayed by those responsible for our protection. Close to 10 of our members are currently lying dead, victims of the latest assaults in the Daffo and Kwatas communities. These attacks, executed simultaneously on September 3, followed a week of isolated attacks resulting in 16 deaths.
“The latest attack in Daffo started around 7 pm, targeting peaceful residents in a commercial area near a military base. The Fulani-speaking terrorists launched a brazen attack, leaving at least seven people dead. At the same time, similar attacks in Kwatas and Ambul-Barkish killed at least four people.”
