AT least 10 persons have been killed by suspected bandits in the Wase Local Government Area.
Wase Local Government Area, a federal constituency, is being represented by Idris Wase, who is the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.
It was gathered that the victims were killed when the bandits attacked Pinau community in the Council Area yesterday.
Reports say the killing happened shortly after the villagers closed from their local market in the area.
A youth leader in the community, Nantip Padur, who confirmed the killings to The PUNCH in Jos said that several persons also sustained injuries during the attack.
The youth leader said “I can confirm to you that about 10 of our people have been killed after some bandits attacked Pinau village and critically injured many others.
“The incident happened during the market day on Sunday.
“Before the Sunday attack, the bandits who came into Wase from Zamfara State had attacked Sapiyo town kidnapping a nursing housewife and a prominent politician in Wase.
From what is happening, it is obvious that our people are now exposed to great security threats and challenges which demand urgent attention.”
