Gunmen Kill Ex-Policeman’s Parents, Wife & Kids

Gunmen have attacked and killed seven members of the family of an ex-cop in the Sabon Layi area of the Barakin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The attack was said to have happened between 11pm on Sunday and 12am on Monday.

Punch gathered that the former police officer, Lagun Jacobs, lost his parents, his brother, wife and their two children and another relative in the attack.

The incident was said to be a fallout of the clash that started 24 hours earlier when two Fulani travellers were allegedly killed by some youths.

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Emmanuel Abuh, however, said that six people were killed while the seventh was undergoing treatment.
