Killer brews: Three dead, two fighting for lives in Kitengela
The five are said to have consumed the lethal alcohol within the Migingo area.
Three residents were discovered deceased following a suspected retaliatory assault in Kassa, situated within the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State. Security analyst Zagazola Makama disclosed that the event unfolded around 12:40am on September 25, when forces from Sector 4 of Operation Enduring Peace, also known as OPEP, responded to reports of intermittent gunfire in the locality.
The military promptly compelled the assailants to retreat before conducting a thorough search of the area, ultimately uncovering three bodies. The victims were identified as Ishaya Pam, aged 48; Barnabas Gyang, 27; and Daniel Mutuwal, 30. Additionally, an AK-47 rifle loaded with nine rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition was reportedly discovered abandoned at the scene.
The violent incident transpired hours following the reported killing of a Fulani herder and the alleged theft of livestock near the border between Barkin Ladi and Mangu local government areas. Security sources suspect that the individuals responsible for the Kassa attack were Fulani militias retaliating for the earlier incident. According to Makama, the military's prompt response effectively forced the gunmen to flee the area.
