A young woman identified as Satmun Gyokos, was among residents killed by suspected Fulani militias who attacked the Maikatako Community, in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.

According to friends and former coursemates, Satmum graduated from the Federal College of Education, Pankshin, two months ago.

Spokesperson of the command, DSP Alfred Alabo, who confirmed the incident to newsmen in Jos on Wednesday November 16, said the gunmen killed a family of nine and many others.

Alabo said that the gunmen stormed the community on Tuesday night and started shooting sporadically.

The PPRO said men of the command had been deployed to the community to ensure calm.

“Our men are currently going after the assailants; we are on top of the situation, but the details of the attack are still sketchy,” he added.

However, Mr Mahanan Job, a resident of the community, told NAN that so far in the search and rescue conducted by community members, 18 dead bodies had been recovered.
