Many people were reportedly injured, and houses and shops burned after a disagreement between traditional worshippers and Muslim youth in the Shimankar community of Shendam local government area of Plateau State.

LEADERSHIP’s investigation revealed that the violence started on Sunday night and continued till Monday morning.

An impeccable source who did not want his name mentioned confirmed the incident to our correspondent. He said the violence began when traditional worshippers were passing through, and a disagreement ensued between them and some Muslim youth, leading to the burning of houses in the process.

Consequently, residents, including women and children, were seen fleeing the scene for their lives, while business owners hurriedly closed down their shops.

Efforts to contact the chief of Shimankar, Long Menkaat Manu, to ask about his reaction to the violence in his domain could not yield any fruitful results, as his mobile phone was switched off.

Meanwhile, Operation Save Haven (OPSH) spokesperson Major Samson Zhakom, when contacted, promised to communicate with the relevant authorities on the matter.
