Twenty-nine persons were on Monday murdered at an Internally Displaced
Persons’ (IDPs) camp in Nkiedonwhro village, Bassa Local Government
Area, Plateau State.
More than a hundred people were taking refuge at the camp, a primary school, when the gunmen sneaked in at dawn and started shooting.
Twenty-seven people died in the camp, two others died at the hospital.
Reports say the victims felt secured to stay at the primary school because troops deployed in the local government to stop the recent spate of killings in the area were also camped at the school.
The government and people of the state were in confusion over how people displaced from their homes and left in the custody of armed security agencies could be killed so easily.
A federal lawmaker from Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency, Hon. Suleiman Kwande, has called on the Federal Government to investigate the killings.
