Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Piano market in Pinau community of Wase local government area of Plateau State was on Sunday evening invaded by unknown gunmen who killed about seven persons.<\/p>\n

The gunmen also injured many villagers during the attack.<\/p>\n

The attackers stormed the market while buying and selling were going on.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that on December 8, residents of some villages complained about the influx of bandits in some of the villages of Wase LGA causing suspicion on their movement.<\/p>\n

The residents who expressed fear also alleged that there were informants within communities working with the bandits to give them information about the area.<\/p>\n

The Wase youth leader, Shapi\u2019i Sambo, while confirming the latest attack which led to the loss of lives described the incident as barbaric and unfortunate.<\/p>\n

He explained that the gunmen invaded the market and started shooting sporadically causing a lot of destruction in the area.<\/p>\n

A source further explained that the area in the last 10 days have witnessed the invasion of gunmen and abduction of many people as well as the payment of ransom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bandits collect ransom in millions. Sometimes they collect N2 million and sometimes N5 million. Last three days, they collected N5 million before releasing a man who they abducted some days back,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ubah Gabriel, did not respond to calls put through to him over the development.<\/p>\n
