Fresh attacks in Plateau state, 6 dead, 2 churches razed

Gunmen launched an attack on residents of Gako and Tanjol communities in Riyom LGA of Plateau State in the early hours of this morning June 11th, killing at least 6 people and burning 2 churches.
 
Residents of the communities say five officers of the Police Special Task Force were also killed but this has not been verified.
 
Confirming today's attack, an Assistant Superintendent of Police and state Police spokesperson, Mr. Dominic Esin who spoke with Premium Times said 5 other people were injured in the attack and they have all been hospitalized
"On June 11 at about 1 a.m., unknown gunmen invaded two villages of Gako and Tanjol, shooting sporadically and in the process killing 6 persons, and injuring 5 others. The injured persons where rushed to the Vom Christian Hospital. Normalcy has been restored in the attacked areas and members of the public are advised to go about their lawful business and report any unscrupulous elements to the security agencies" he said.

  24. We are not discouraged, when the battle is coming to an end, the losing end tend to fight like warriors but we all know that when it is time the battle will definitely come to an end. God is working out something for us and we will not lose heart. Long live Nigeria.

  25. When will these violence stop? You realize that religion has cost more lives than it has saved since before the time of Christ. It's just so sad that something meant to unite and enlighten as caused more harm than good.
