Kwatas, a community neighbouring the Plateau State University, was reportedly attacked at about 9pm.

The attacked area is said to be the village of former Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Titus Alams.

Ubah said, “But as we speak, I cannot tell you much, because we are on our way to the scene of the incident, it is after that I can give you full details”. [DailyPost]
