An air of apprehension has gripped residents of 10 communities in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State following five days ultimatum given to them to vacate their communities by bandits.
Some of the communities are Sabon Zama, Gindin Dutse, Anguwan Tsohon Soldier, Anguwan Yuhana and Anguwan Mangu in the local government area.
It would be recalled that two months ago, bandits in large numbers attacked the neighbouring Kanam Local Government Area where over 100 persons were reportedly killed.
Tribune Online learnt that the bandits who have been terrorising the council and other neighbouring local government areas gave the communities a five-day ultimatum on Sunday to pack out or face the consequences.
A resident of one of the communities who craved anonymity disclosed that the bandits physically visited some of the communities over the weekend to issue the ultimatum and threatened to kill the residents if they refused to adhere to the ultimatum.
It was gathered that residents of the affected villages and communities have started leaving their homes before the ultimatum elapses on Thursday.
Attempts to confirm the threat and ultimatum with the Plateau State Police Command through its Public Relations Officer, DSP Alfred Alabo, proved abortive as he could not be reached on his phone.
