Yesterday, survivors of the Sunday attack on a few communities in Plateau state's Kanam Local Government Area described what they witnessed and described the assault as horrific and unforgettable. According to reports, they killed both Muslims and Christians. Some of those who contacted with our correspondent yesterday claimed that the assailants, who rode motorcycles, advised women not to panic while they targeted men in the impacted towns. Villages including Kukawa, Gyanbahu, Dungur, and Keram were attacked. Locals, including political and community leaders, stated the attack was well planned because the attackers blocked entry points and destroyed cellphone poles before they went on a killing spree to prevent the victims from calling for help. President Muhammadu Buhari vehemently denounced the incident and vowed that those responsible would not escape punishment.
