Suspected bandits have abducted three persons, including two palace administrators, and burned several houses in the Bunyun community, Bashar District in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The attack occurred around 7:30 pm on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
The paramount ruler of the community, Abdulbari’u Muhammad, who confirmed the incident to journalists in Jos on Thursday, said that the bandits stormed the community in large numbers, riding on motorcycles, and looted valuable items, including food, clothes, and motorcycles.
“We are completely confused and don’t know what to do, which is why we fled to Bashar. Everybody has fled because people are afraid to remain in the area,” Muhammad said.
He identified the abducted palace officials as Musa Idris (Waziri Bunyun), Daudu Abdullahi (Wakilin Ruwa) and Shamsudeen Ibrahim
It was gathered that some villagers said the community had been deserted, with residents fleeing to nearby towns, including Bashar, for safety
