BREAKING: Terrorists Storm Plateau State Community at Night, Kill at Least Seven Residents, Leave Several Missing in Deadly Bong Village Attack
At least seven people have been killed following a late-night terrorist attack on Bong village in Doemak District of Qua’an Pan Local Government Area, Plateau State. Gunmen, locally referred to as bandits, reportedly invaded the community while residents were asleep, carrying out a coordinated house-to-house assault that left women, children, and elderly villagers especially vulnerable.
Eyewitnesses described the attackers as heavily armed, striking swiftly before fleeing into the night. A resident of the area, Justin Mari, said the death toll could rise as several villagers remain unaccounted for, while many others sustained serious injuries during the attack.
The incident was confirmed by the Director of Press and Publicity to the Qua’an Pan Local Government Chairman, Danaan Cletus Sylvanus, who noted that the exact number of casualties was still being verified. He disclosed that the council chairman has condemned the attack and is working closely with security agencies to ensure the perpetrators are arrested and prosecuted.
The latest assault has heightened fears over worsening insecurity in Plateau State, which has experienced repeated violent attacks on rural communities. It comes despite recent military operations in the state, where Nigerian Army troops reportedly foiled planned attacks, neutralised suspected bandits, and recovered arms and ammunition. The renewed violence underscores ongoing security challenges and the growing human cost of terrorism in the region.
