A man, identified as Balongo Unogu, has
been killed at Angwan Ishaku, in the Katako area of the Barakin Ladi
Local Government Area of Plateau State after he complained bitterly
against the murder of his brother.
Bolongo’s brother, Edwin Unogu, was said
to have been killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen on Sunday, June 21,
along with two others, identified as Rahab Ishaku and Pam Gyang.
Balongo was said to have been trailed to his house by the killers, who snuffed life out of him.
The latest incident is another incident
in the series of killings in the Barakin Ladi and Riyom local government
areas of the state, which led to an imposition of a state of emergency
by the government.
Executive Director of Stefanos
Foundation, Mr. Mark Lipdo, who deplored the spate of killings in the
two local government areas, called on security agencies to urgently
address the situation.
He said, “Killings are now rampant in the
Barakinladi Local Government Area of Plateau State. On Sunday, Fulani
terrorists killed three people ─ Edwin Onogu, Idoma by tribe, Rahab
Ishaku and Pam Gyang ─ at Angwan Ishaku, close to Katako area.
“Balongo Unogu, Edwin’s brother, who
bitterly spoke against the murder of his brother, was also slaughtered
in his house last night June 24.”
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Emmanuel Abuh, could not be reached. Calls to his phones were not answered.
