Plateau Community Sounds Alarm Over Possible Easter Attacks

Residents of Irigwe Chiefdom in Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State, have raised security alerts over potential coordinated attacks on multiple villages ahead of Easter and the Zrrechi festival.

 

Reports obtained on Saturday indicate that villages including Zarwa, Tafigana, Kpachudu, and Kpasho could be targeted in the planned assaults. Intelligence suggests that hundreds of armed men on motorcycles were sighted moving towards Mararaban Dare on Friday night, raising fears of renewed violence in an area historically prone to deadly attacks.

 

A youth leader, speaking anonymously, confirmed that the alerts have been forwarded to security agencies but noted that no official response has yet been issued.

 

In the meantime, communities are taking preventive measures by mobilizing local vigilante groups to boost night-time security and restricting non-essential movements to safeguard residents.

 

Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the situation.
