He said, “The leadership of Irigwe Development Association (IDA) has been notified of yet another attack on Zogu village, Miango, which claimed the lives of a father and two of his sons, namely Weyi Gebeh, 56 years; Zhu Weyi, 25; and Henry Weyi, 16.
“This recent event brings to mind the deaths recorded this week alone. IDA expresses its utmost displeasure at the deteriorating situation in Irigwe land and calls on the security agencies to do whatever that’s required to halt this barbarism on our land and get perpetrators apprehended to face justice.
“The way criminal elements invade our motherland and kill with impunity seems to suggest a more sinister motive than mere reprisals. IDA therefore calls on the Plateau State government and the security to do the needful and stop the killing of innocent people in Irigwe land.”
As of the time of this report, the spokespersons of Operation Safe Haven, Major Samson Zhakom, and the state police command, DSP Alabo Alfred, were yet to react to the incident.
According to Legit.ng, this sad incident occurred days after Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State condemned the recent attacks on communities in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas of the state, describing them as “genocide sponsored by terrorists.”
