Plateau Police Officer and Civilians Killed Amid Curfew
The Plateau State Police Command confirmed the killing of Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) and three civilians in separate attacks in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area. The attacks occurred on Tuesday night along Gagshi Road, where gunmen ambushed security operatives, resulting in one operative's death.
Additionally, three civilians were killed in another attack at Rakok (Kafi Abu). These incidents took place shortly after the Plateau State Government enforced a dusk-to-dawn curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in response to renewed security threats.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Alfred Alabo, stated that investigations are ongoing. The Berom Youth Moulders-Association, represented by National Publicity Secretary Rwang Tengwong, criticized the curfew's effectiveness, citing coordinated attacks on multiple communities and the death of 22-year-old Henry Elisha.
They called for improved security measures and a review of the curfew's implementation to better protect citizens.
