An
attack similar to that of Dogo Nahawa in 2010 was staged before dawn in
Gashish District, Barkin Ladi Local government area of Plateau State
where nine villages were invaded by unknown gunmen.
The casualties included mostly women, children and the aged.
The gun men were said to have divided themselves into five groups with each group taking on
one village. With
this strategy, five villages were attacked at the same time, while total
numbers of villages attacked according to source are nine.
Villages attacked are Kakuruk, Kuzen Ngyo, Kogoduk, Ruk, Dogo, Nyar etc
Eye witness said the gunmen were dressed in bullet-proof vest in military camouflage.
A
mobile policeman whose name cannot be ascertained immediately and a
member of the Special Task Force (STF) was said to have lost his life in
the attack.
Many
in Barkin Ladi are suspecting the attack was backed by military due to
the tactics used by the attackers as well as the weapon used.
Michael
Dadu said, “I saw the attackers, I can’t explain how I escaped, they
killed three members of vigilante group of the village who tried to
repel them. They were in military uniform, the type used by the STF and
they escaped before the mobile police came in”
