No fewer than nine persons have been killed and several others injured following an attack by suspected Fulani Bandits on Zhe Brazongo village in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the attack occurred at about 12:15 a.m. on May 8 after troops of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) received reports of sporadic gunshots from the community.

According to the sources, troops swiftly mobilised to the village following the distress call, but the attackers had already fled before security operatives arrived at the scene.

“During search operations around the village, troops discovered nine corpses of villagers with gunshot wounds and machete cuts,” a military source said.
