According to Channels TV, eight travellers en route to a wedding in Quan’pan LGA lost their lives after making a wrong turn into Mangun, a Plateau community plagued by terrorist violence. Mistaken for threats amid local tension, they were attacked by a mob on Friday evening. Several survivors are now receiving treatment.
- The victims were heading from Zaria to Plateau for a wedding when they lost their way.
- The Mangun district has endured over a month of terrorist raids and displacement.
- Plateau Governor Mutfwang condemned the killings as avoidable and senseless.
- Survivors are being treated at Mangu General Hospital at the state's expense.
A wrong turn should not cost a life. In moments of fear, even neighbours become threats. But our humanity, our shared roads, rituals, and destinations, must remain stronger than suspicion.
When have you seen a wrong turn spark harm, not by intent, but by fear left unchecked?
