Twelve (12) persons have been killed in a clash between
bandits and vigilante members in Zak community, Wase Local Government Area of
Plateau State.
According to a source, the incident happened around 9am on
Sunday and led to the killing of nine bandits and three vigilante members.
A spokesperson for Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), Major Ishaku
Takwa, a multi security taskforce maintaining peace in the State, could not say
the number of those affected but confirmed the incident.
He explained that the troops repelled the attack.
Bandits had reportedly issued quit notices to residents of
Sabon Zama, Gindin Dutse, Anguwan Tsohon Soldier, Anguwan Yuhana and Anguwan
Mangu villages of Wase to vacate their areas or face a war.
DAILY POST reports that the quit notices given to the
residents made many people in the affected areas flee to Wase town for fear of
attack.
Zak, the community where the incident happened, is about 40
kilometers from Wase town, the headquarters of Wase Local Government Area of
the State.
