Unknown gunmen have killed 10 persons and injured one in Kulben community, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.

A member of the community, Mr Jerry Datim, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Jos, the state capital, that the incident occurred on Sunday night.

‘’Last night, at about 8:40 p.m., some gunmen attacked Kulben community, killed 10 persons and injured one.

‘’The criminals invaded the village and started shooting sporadically. People started running to safety but the bullets killed some whose bodies were later found.

‘’We alerted the security personnel, but before they got there, the attackers had moved from the community,’’ he said.

However, a senior officer, who preferred anonymity, told NAN that the Plateau State Police Command is on the trail of the gunmen.

He assured that the hoodlums will be made to face the wrath of the law.
