Senator and Plateau state lawmaker murdered by Fulani herdsmen


Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Sunday shot and killed a serving senator, Dr. Gyang Dantong, and the lawmaker representing Barkin Ladi in the state house of assembly, Gyang Fulani, at a mass burial in Maseh, Plateau State.

Dantong, who is representing Plateau North, and Fulani, who is the Majority Leader of the state house of assembly, were killed along with over 50 people by the herdsmen around 2.30p.m.
The incident followed the earlier gruesome discovery of 50 corpses in a church in the area.
They were the corpses of members of a church said to have fled an onslaught by Fulani herdsmen.
