GUNMEN, on Monday evening, struck again in Gero community, in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, killing seven people and injuring five others.
The Nigerian Tribune learnt that the gunmen stormed the community around 10:45p.m., shooting indiscriminately before attacking a local restaurant where the people were killed and others injured.
A source, who spoke with the Nigerian Tribune on the condition of anonymity, said: “I was near the restaurant when the gunmen invaded our community. They attacked a restaurant, where they shot people there at close range.
“The invasion caused commotion in the community, as people abandoned their shops and houses and fled to the nearby hills to take cover.”
Reacting to the incident, spokesman for the Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM), Rwang Tengwong, condemned the attack, describing it as unacceptable.
He said: “The killing of innocent people in Gero is condemnable and must not be allowed to continue.”
