By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
No fewer than three persons have been confirmed killed in renewed clashes in Maiyanga district of Bassa local government area of Plateau state on Monday.
The victims were waylaid and butchered by gunmen as they were returning from Kwall also in Bassa.
A resident of Maiyanga community, Mr Danlami Dangu, said that the incident occurred around 7 pm.
“The people were killed at Maiyanga while returning from Kwall around 7 O’ clock on Monday evening. The killers used machete to avoid attracting the attention of men of the STF stationed in Maiyanga about two km from the location of the attack.”
He gave the names of the victims as
Bala Ruhuwie, Gawah Gudu and Na’ago (fnu).
It was also gathered that the efforts of the soldiers stationed in the area helped to avert a reprisal.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
