Over 100 Hectares of Farms Destroyed by Gunmen in Plateau
In Plateau State, gunmen reportedly attacked a community, killing three people, injuring two others, and destroying over 100 hectares of farmland.
The violence, which involved the extensive destruction of agricultural property, has added to growing concerns about security in the region, where communities frequently face attacks that disrupt local economies and livelihoods.
Incidents like this have devastating impacts, particularly on rural communities that depend heavily on farming.
Beyond the immediate loss of life, such attacks destabilize food production and create long-term challenges for families who rely on farming as their primary source of income.
Local authorities and security forces are likely working to investigate the incident and address the root causes of these recurring conflicts.
Many are calling for stronger protective measures for farming communities and a comprehensive strategy to address the underlying tensions that often lead to violence in the region.
