In a tragic escalation of violence, over 30 individuals lost their lives and numerous homes were set ablaze in the Kwahaslalek and surrounding communities, as gunmen brazenly violated the 24-hour curfew imposed by the Plateau State government in Mangu Local Government Area.
The incident occurred despite the curfew declared by Governor Caleb Mutfwang to address the worsening security situation in the region, restricting movement to essential duties only. Sabon Layi bore the brunt of the attacks, with citizens accusing soldiers of complicity.
Survivors recount a horrifying scene in Kwahaslalek, where innocent lives, mostly women and children, were lost, houses burnt, and gunshots echoed through the night. The community near the NYSC camp faced a brutal assault, leaving residents in shock and grief.
