Plateau Crisis: 5 Lives Lost In A Night of Horror

PLATEAU, (iexclusivenews) – In a heart-wrenching tragedy fueled by the Plateau crisis, a family of five perished in a fiery inferno that engulfed their home in the early hours of Tuesday.

The Sohon Kasuwa area of Mangu Local Government Area witnessed the unimaginable horror as assailants set their house ablaze, trapping innocent lives within.

The flames claimed the life of a bedridden father, unable to flee the scorching trap. His sister, along with three young children – Emma, Beatrice, and Dorcas – suffered the same cruel fate, their vibrant dreams extinguished by the relentless flames, according to a tearful source who spoke to West Africa Weekly.

This gut-wrenching incident sent shockwaves through the already-scarred community, a stark reminder of the fragile peace threatened by the ongoing crisis.

To prevent further bloodshed and chaos, the state government swiftly declared a 24-hour curfew, urging residents to remain calm and cooperate with security forces.

Yet, amidst the ashes and smoldering embers, a poignant question hangs heavy: when will this cycle of violence end?

But the story doesn’t end there. Governor Mutfwang vowed unwavering efforts to restore peace and bring the perpetrators to justice.

“These senseless acts of barbarity will not go unpunished,” he declared, his voice tinged with grief and resolve.

However, the scars left on the hearts of survivors and the community run deep, demanding not just justice, but a lasting solution to the underlying tensions that ignite such deadly flames.
