Three members of the Irigwe ethnic group were on Sunday night killed while three others sustained injuries during an attack in the Hukke village of Miango District, of Bassa Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State, Northcentral Nigeria.
Just last week, four members of the same Irigwe group were also killed after a herder was shot dead at Kafigana in Jebu District of Bassa LGA of the State.
Spokesperson of the Irigwe ethnic group, Malison Davidson, who confirmed the killings said the killings took place on Sunday night when the terror bandits invaded the village and started shooting sporadically.
Spokesperson of the Plateau State Police Command, ASP Ubah Gabriel, confirmed the incident, saying police personnel had been deployed to the area and that the Command was making effort to arrest the perpetrators of the attack.
Davison further gave the names of the deceased as Barry Ive, Isaiah Gado and Weyi Chohu.
