Bandits invade Plateau village, kill resident
Bandits have attacked and killed Shedrack Dalyop, a 36-year-old resident of Kuru district, at Sabon Gidan Kanar in the Gyel area of Jos South LGA of Plateau.
According to Rwang Tengwong, spokesman for the Berom Youth Moulders Association, the deceased was killed on Saturday, while his remains were discovered on Sunday morning.
“Yesterday evening. The corpse was discovered this morning after the other person who sustained injuries established communication with his community,” he said.
He stated that Mang Davou of Gyel district was wounded during the attack.
According to him, the BYM condemned the attack, which resulted in the death of Mr Dalyop and the injury of Mr Davou.
“This incident occurred barely days after a similar attack in the same area that claimed one life and left another person hospitalised, underscoring the growing insecurity confronting residents of the community,” he said.
Mr Tengwong urged Operation Enduring Peace and other security agencies to immediately investigate the attack and arrest the perpetrators, adding that the suspects should be brought to justice.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Mr Dalyop and prayed for the speedy recovery of Mr Davou.
Alfred Alabo, the police spokesperson in Plateau, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
