In a revenge to avenge the death of four soldiers who were killed by some unknown persons at Angwan Nanmi in Karin Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba State, soldiers had killed about 30 people in two villages in plateau.
According to the report released by PUNCH, the villages invaded include Kadarko, Kurmi and Wadata villages of Wase local government area of Plateau. The home of the traditional ruler of the Kadarko, Ponhzi Kadarko, Chief Lot Nde, was also torched.
These soldiers that arrived in over 40 trucks were in a revenge mission over the alleged killing of their colleagues.
Executive Director of Stefanos Foundation, Mr. Mark Lipdo, quoting sources from the village said that the soldiers arrived and opened fire on innocent people and burnt houses.
Lipdo said, “ Information says soldiers in over 40 trucks arrived Kadarko, Kurmi and Wadata of Wase LGA in Plateau State today(Saturday) following report of alleged killing of four soldiers at Angwan Nanmi, Karin Lamido LGA of Taraba State. According to residents, the soldiers arrived and opened fire on innocent people, burning houses. It is not clear why soldiers would open fire on the people they are supposed to defend.’’
He added, “Sources speculate that it is in retaliation for the killings of their colleagues. Others denied this, moreso that two of the four soldiers killed were even Tarohs from the area. Villagers would rather believe it is a deliberate plan by the outgoing governor to intimidate their area, following the overwhelming votes from the area that changed the results of last election.”
