Gunmen on Monday reportedly kill five persons in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The Chairman of Bokkos Cultural Development Council, Farmasum Fuddang, confirmed the killings on Tuesday in a statement jointly signed with the Association’s Secretary, Duwam Bosco.

In a statement, titled, “Another Tragic Attack Claims Five Lives in Bokkos Despite Advance Warnings”, Fuddang said the killings occurred shortly after a security meeting with stakeholders in the locality.

“With deep sadness, we wish to report that our communities have once again fallen victim to violence, with five of our members confirmed dead following an attack yesterday October 14.

“This tragic incident comes on the heels of a week marked by bloody attacks, during which we buried over ten members of our community: five in Wumat on October 7, four in Kuba on October 10, one in Maikatako on October 11, and another on October 12.

“Additionally, we have endured numerous assaults in the previous month, including six fatalities in Daffo on September 3, two in Tarangol on the same day, five in Mbar on September 16 and two in Kop Mandarken on September 27.

“Despite credible warnings by a reputable media outlet on October 12, terrorists, identified by witnesses as members of the Fulani tribe, launched a brutal attack on the village of Rafut in the Kwatas district shortly after 7 PM on October 14.

“This unprovoked assault occurred even after a security meeting with police and military authorities in Bokkos on October 13.” The statement reads partly.
