A resident of the community said the attackers got to the
residence of the victims at night while they were asleep and
shot them.
The immediate past Management Committee Chairman of
the local government area, Mr. Emmanuel Loman, who
confirmed the incident, described it as sad.
Also confirming the attack, Deputy Police Public Relations
Officer, Plateau Police Command, ASP Dominic Esin said
that four of those killed were children while a member of
the community's vigilance group also died.
Esin said that the man was killed when he came out to
ascertain what was happening after hearing gunshots.
Two of the four persons injured, according to Esin, are the
father and mother of the four children who were killed by
the attackers.
According to him, they are now receiving treatment at the
Plateau Specialist Hospital, adding that the perpetrators
would soon be brought to book as investigation to unravel
the identity of the killers had begun.
