No fewer than 47 people were killed on Sunday night in a fresh wave of violence that rocked Zike and Kimakpa communities in the Kwall District of Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State.
The brutal attack, which occurred around 8:00 p.m., came just over a week after a similar assault in Bokkos Local Government claimed 52 lives and left property worth millions of naira destroyed.
The national Secretary of the Irigwe Development Association, Danjuma Dickson Auta, confirmed the incident on Monday in Jos, describing it as another dark chapter for the Irigwe people.
He disclosed that the attack resulted in the deaths of 47 individuals, with several others sustaining serious injuries.
