No fewer than two people were killed on Tuesday afternoon in Ancha village, Miango District in Irigwe Chiefdom of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Davidson Malison, National Publicity Secretary, Irigwe Development Association (IDA), revealed that the deceased were ambushed and killed while on their farm.

The spokesman of the state police command, ASP Ubah Gabriel, confirmed the attack, adding that policemen have been deployed to the scene of the attack.

Malison, who gave the names of the deceased as Daniel James (32) and Zakwe Deba (35), said: “I spoke with the Bassa DPO on the matter who said he was on his way coming to the scene.

“The entire Rigwe nation is saddened by this unfortunate development and call for more proactive measures by security personnel and government in ending this bloodletting in the land.

“These atrocities being committed by Fulani militia has had gross negative effects on our people and it must be stopped,” he added.

The spokesman accused the Fulani Herdsmen of launching the attack.
