No fewer than 11 persons have been feared killed at Zamadede of Pil-Gani district of Langtang North local government area of Plateau state.
Our reporter gathered that gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen at the early hours of yesterday morning attacked two communities and started shooting sporadically. The dead, it was gathered, included a 45 year-old mother with her little son and a pregnant woman.
A source who spoke to our reporter further said several homes were burnt.
An eye witnessed who lost two members of her family, Mrs Baby Hosea who spoke to our reporter on phone, described the incidence as sad, lamenting that her people were killed in their sleep.
Condemning the sad incidence, a member representing Langtang North and South constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Beni Lar, expressed worries over the recent attacks on her constituents.
The lawmaker in a chat with newsmen at her family residence in Jos said the attack has shaken the foundation of peace being enjoyed by the people.
She described the Zamadede community as peace loving and hard working farmers that the two local governments depend upon due to their large farm produce.
She lamented why some people would be so cruel as to take the lives of innocent citizens, particularly at the time the Federal Government through the national conference is trying to find a lasting solution to farmers/herdsmen clashes.
The lawmaker also appealed to the people of her constituency to remain law abiding .
When contacted, DSP Abu Emmanuel, the police public relations officer, said that men of the Police force were trying to get the details and would get back to newsmen when he has the details of the attack.
