Yesterday, two people on their way to the village were ambushed and killed mercilessly. Soldiers stationed in the area, are said to be helpless in the face of the perpetual attacks and may require re-enforcement

Our source within the village, has cautioned that the marauders may still be strategizing on unleashing mayhem to the community and that if care is not taken, a repeat of the Dogon Na hauwa mayhem may soon occur in Sho village.

ViewPointNigeria feels a sense of responsibility to profile the plight of these villages, because it appears that in these political times, issues like these have been relegated to the background in favour of immense politicking.
