Residents of Gimbi village and neighbouring communities in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State are currently fleeing the area for fear of bandits’ attacks.
A resident, Ubale Musa, told Daily Trust that the residents were fleeing following attacks on neighbouring communities of Shegyam and Dogon Ruwa where three people were killed and hundreds of cattle rustled.
