Gunmen on Tuesday night killed 11 people and injured some others in Maikatako community, Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
VOP news gathered that the gunmen stormed the community around 9 pm.
The spokesman of the police in the state, DSP Alfred Alabo, who confirmed the attack, said the details were still sketchy but operatives had launched a manhunt.
The attack came barely one week after seven people were killed in three communities of Takai, Kunet and Kulias also in the LGA by armed men.
Meanwhile, Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong has ordered security agencies to arrest and prosecute the killers.
He said the rising incidences of attacks and destruction of farm crops, livestock and other property within the general Bokkos area were becoming worrisome and must be checked immediately.
He sympathised with the families of the victims and appealed to communities to always be security conscious and report any suspicious movement to security agencies for immediate action.
