This is very sad. A young man identified as Chu’un Isa’ac, is counting his losses after his parents were killed in the recent massacre by suspected Fulani Herdsmen in Plateau state. The couple were killed and their house set ablaze by the attackers who also murdered over 120 persons.

The incident happened over the weekend in several villages in Barkin Ladi, Mangu and Riyom local government areas of Plateau State in fresh attacks by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen, while over 200 others sustained gunshot injuries.
