Despite Assurance By Tinubu-Led Govt, Terrorist Kill Imam, Okada Rider In Fresh Plateau Attacks

Despite assurances from President Bola Tinubu’s administration to put to an end the ongoing carnage in Plateau State, the North Central of Nigeria, terrorists in their audacious manner have once again, killed Malam Muhammad Sani Idris, the Chief Imam of the Jumma’at Mosque in Ndun village, Tangur District, Bokkos local government area of Plateau state and Muhammad Gambo, an okada rider.

VerseNews reports that the unfortunate incident was confirmed by Garba Abdullahi, the chairman of the Gan Allah Fulani Development Association (GAFDAN) on Wednesday, January 3.

He said that Salisu Muhammad Sani Idris, the younger brother of the late Imam, sustained injuries during the attack and was undergoing treatment at Dung Hospital located in Bokkos town.

Salisu said the incident had been reported to the security agencies in Bokkos for immediate action.

While recounting how the attack occurred, the chairman said, “The chief Imam and his younger were attacked on Monday, after arriving at the community to collect some of their belongings left from the recent attacks where houses of our members were burned down.

“So, they went there to see if they could pick some of their property but suddenly were attacked. The hoodlums killed the imam while his younger brother survived machete wounds.

“The second deceased, Muhammed Gambo, an okada rider and our member, was killed on Monday around Bokkos Market while bringing a passenger to the area. We have reported the two incidents to the Police and Operation Safe Have in Bokkos”.

Meanwhile, the latest attack is coming after terrorists on Christmas Eve killed over 200 villagers and razed hundreds of homes in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi local government areas of Plateau State.
