In a related development, a man, Mapack Linus, was killed on Sunday following a fresh attack by bandits in Jannaret town, in the Mangu LGA of Plateau State.

A resident of Jannaret town, Charles Yusuf, confirmed the attack to our correspondent on Monday.

 

He said, “It was last night (Sunday) that the bandits arrived at Jannaret town around 7.30pm and just opened fire on people in the community.

 

 

“From what we got to know, the bandits were targeting leaders of vigilante groups frustrating their nefarious activities. Fortunately, the vigilante leaders who used to visit the affected spot in the community were not present when the bandits opened fire, but their (vigilante leaders’) friends were there.

 

“Sadly, the bullets hit three persons. One of them died on the spot, while two others sustained injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital.”
