A father and his two sons were reportedly killed in their sleep during an attack on Zogu village, Miango District in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Spokesperson of the Irigwe Development Association (IDA), Sam Jugo, confirmed the incident on Saturday in Jos. He identified the victims as Weyi Gebeh (56), Zhu Weyi (25), and Henry Weyi (16).
Describing the attack as barbaric, Jugo said, “This brings the number of deaths in the Irigwe community to nine within a week. We are deeply concerned about the worsening insecurity in our land.”
He called on security agencies and the Plateau State government to take urgent action. “The way criminal elements invade our communities and kill with impunity suggests motives beyond mere reprisals. We demand justice and protection for our people,” he added.
At the time of this report, officials from Operation Safe Haven and the Plateau State Police Command had yet to respond to requests for comment.
