The dead toll from Tuesday’s attack on towns in Plateau State’s Mangu Local Government Area (LGA) has grown to 85, while the search for missing persons continues in the impacted areas.
Joseph Gwankat, National President of the Mwaghavul Development Association, revealed this to press on Wednesday during a security briefing at the palace of the traditional ruler in Mangu.
Gwankat said that suspected herdsmen assaulted numerous communities at the same time, resulting in fatalities, home burnings, and agriculture destruction in the targeted communities.
Protesting women had surrounded the traditional ruler’s palace, where a security meeting was held with security chiefs, district heads, and government officials led by the Deputy Governor, Professor Sonni Tyoden, to address the LGA’s security challenges.
