Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has ordered security agencies to double efforts to arrest those behind Sunday’s attack on Ratatis community in Dorowa Babuje, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, which claimed no fewer than seven lives.
Muftwang condemned the killings in a statement released on Tuesday by the Commissioner for Information, Mrs Joyce Ramnap.
The governor described the killings as barbaric and senseless, and a setback to the relative peace recorded through sustained dialogue, reconciliation and community engagement across the state.
“The Plateau State Government has received with deep shock and profound sadness reports of a violent attack on Ratatis (Dorowa Babuje) in Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area, which occurred on Sunday, 22nd February 2026, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives,” the statement read.
According to the governor, those injured in the attack were receiving treatment in health facilities, adding that the government was closely monitoring their condition to ensure adequate care.
