Father, two sons killed in Plateau State attack amid rising violence

In a tragic incident in Zogu village, Miango District of Plateau State, a father and his two sons were brutally murdered while asleep, bringing the week's death toll in the area to nine. The victims, identified as Weyi Gebeh (56), Zhu Weyi (25), and Henry Weyi (16), were killed by suspected bandits early Friday morning. The Irigwe Development Association condemned the violence and called for immediate action from security agencies, lamenting the impunity with which these attacks are carried out. This latest attack follows a series of violent incidents in the region, including a recent assault that claimed over 60 lives in nearby Bokkos Local Government Area. Community leaders have emphasized that the killings appear to be part of a more sinister agenda rather than mere reprisals. Local ethnic and civil society groups are demanding urgent intervention from both state and federal authorities to halt the ongoing violence, which they describe as ethnic cleansing.
