Gunmen suspected to be Fulani heardsmen were again on the rampage in Plateau State yesterday, killing a Senator, the Assembly's Majority Leader, among scores of others. Last Saturday, the gunmen attacked six villages in Gashish district in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, killing at least 20 people and injuring over 15 others. With yesterday's attack, the death toll may have risen to 104. About 50 people were burnt to death inside a church.
The state government yesterday imposed curfew from 7.30pm to 7 am in Jos North, Jos South, Barkin Ladi and Riyom council areas,
with immediate effect.
