Public Relations Officer, Terna Tyopev, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos that the At-tackers, who invaded the village at 12 midnight, also burnt down 10 houses.
The Plateau Police Command on Sunday confirmed six persons dead and five others injured in a Saturday night At-tack on Taagbe, a village in Bassa Local Government Area.
Its Public Relations Officer, Terna Tyopev, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos that the At-tackers, who invaded the village at 12 midnight, also burnt down 10 houses.
He said that those injured had been taken to various hospitals in Jos.
NAN reports that the killings took place a day after Gov. Simon Lalong imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on the local government, as part of measures to curtail the At-tacks on the villagers.
Lalong had said that the action became necessary “in view of recurring incidences of At-tacks in the area”
