More than 130 corpses have been found in two deserted villages in
Barkin Ladi local government area in of Plateau following fresh attacks
by out-of-control killers.
The gruesome discovery came barely two days after two top politicians
were killed by gunmen as they attended a burial ceremony for numerous
victims of a mass slaughter.
A security source said that displaced persons
seeking refuge at different locations have disclosed that more than 130
corpses currently litter several villages affected by the worsening
crisis. Our source added that emergency workers had yet to reach the
areas most affected by the carnage owing to a lack of security.
An eyewitness source in Jos, the capital of Plateau, revealed that
gunmen had sacked several villages. “These gunmen have stormed different
areas, engaging in sporadic shooting and burning of houses,” he said.
The source added, “We became aware because the news reached us before
we could go to pick the death bodies of our relations in other
villages.”
