Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the Mangu council following recent attacks that led to the loss of lives and property.
This is after residents of Farinkasa Kerana and Sabon Gari communities in Mangu Local Government Area on Saturday night, were thrown into mourning following fresh attacks by gunmen, which left 12 persons dead.
A resident, Mathew Habila, who confirmed the killings in Jos, on Sunday, said the victims were killed in their houses Saturday night
He lamented that the gunmen also set many houses on fire, leaving the two communities deserted.
Habila said: “We have our people killed again in another attack last night. This time, 12 people were killed with several others injured and many houses were burnt by Fulani militia at Farinkasa Kerana and Sabon Gari communities in Mangu districts of Mangu council.”
