Chief Imam of the Jumma’at Mosque in Ndun village in the Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State is one of those killed in a fresh attack on the state.

The Imam, Muhammad Sani Idris, was reportedly killed along with Muhammad Gambo, an okada rider.

The Nation reports that the event was confirmed by Garba Abdullahi, the chairman of the Gan Allah Fulani Development Association (GAFDAN) on Wednesday, January 3.
