Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Sequel to the 24-hour curfew imposed in Mangu LGA of Plateau State, scores are feared to have been killed and their houses burnt in a fresh attack by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.<\/p>\n

Lazarus Musa, a resident of the affected community, disclosed that the number of casualties cannot be determined for now.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI cannot give you the exact number of people killed but many were killed; more than 15 houses were burnt, as well as several shops destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that on Tuesday, the state government imposed a 24-hour curfew in the aforementioned council following what it described as a \u201cdeteriorating security situation \u201d in the area.<\/p>\n

The state government also said the decision was taken in consultation with the relevant security agencies.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, the Public Relations Officer of the Plateau State Police Command, DSP Alfred Alabo, called for calm, saying police operatives were on top of the situation.<\/p>\n

Mangu LGA, a hitherto peaceful council, has been bedevilled by a serious security challenge that has claimed many lives and properties since April 2023.<\/p>\n
