Amnesty International has strongly denounced a midnight assault on Ngbra-Zongo village in Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State, which left 12 people dead. The victims included pregnant women and young children, with at least 10 others hospitalized for gunshot injuries.
The organization labeled the attack as “horrific,” stating that attackers allegedly trapped families inside their homes before methodically murdering them. This incident underscores the escalating insecurity in the region.
Amnesty International called on the Nigerian government to take immediate action to protect citizens and prevent further bloodshed. The group emphasized that such violence must not go unpunished and urged authorities to hold perpetrators accountable.
