Tragedy struck the people of Fan District of Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State when unknown assailants raided no less than four villages in the darkness of the night, murdering mostly women and children as the slept in peace without any security agent anywhere to stop the massacre in process.
Entire households were reportedly wiped out in the killing spree. 10 people were said to be injured during the fray and fire set to houses killing unfortunate victims who still slept in them.
The village head of Tatu, said, "A boy of about one year, who was crying when the invaders attacked the family, was shot at close range and his remains littered the room when we got there. We are short of words to describe this barbaric incident."
