Anger and fear have gripped Nding Susut community in Fan District, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State after gunmen stormed the area Tuesday night, killing five people, including an entire family.
The attack occurred at about 9 pm, leaving residents shaken and renewing concerns over recurring violence in parts of Plateau State.
Some members of the community, including Weng Christopher, who confirmed it on Wednesday, said the assailants “stormed the area and opened fire on unsuspecting victims.”
Christopher said, “Five members of the same family were killed on the spot, while another resident of the community was also killed during the attack.”
“This is becoming too frequent. People are living in constant fear,” Christopher lamented, describing the situation as “alarming and distressing for residents.”
