Soldiers and gunmen on Saturday morning clashed in two villages of Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, with many reported dead.
This is coming after Governor Caleb Mutfwang relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on the area.
The curfew was relaxed by the governor who said, following security improvement, the curfew should be from 8 am to 4 pm.
According to sources, about 30 gunmen were killed while some soldiers sustained injuries during the clash at Satguru and Tyop villages.
A security operative, who prayed anonymity, said, “The incident occurred between 7 to 7:30 am when the gunmen came in their numbers and started attacking some communities along Gindri road. In no time, the soldiers were alerted and immediately responded.
“About 30 of the gunmen were killed while more than 50 of them were arrested with guns and ammunition. Four soldiers were equally injured.”
The incident was also confirmed by another source in the area.
The source said people in the area were still in fear.
