Bandits have beheaded a farmer in Panyam District of Mangu Local Government Area, Plateau State, while Boko Haram terrorists killed one person and set a palace ablaze in Borno State.

The Plateau farmer, identified as Ishaku Abalis, was attacked on his farm in the Panyam community. His killers beheaded him and took away his head.

The National President of the Mwaghavul Development Association, Bulus Dabit, confirmed the incident on Tuesday, noting that attacks and kidnappings have become frequent in Panyam and Pushit Districts.

Describing the attacks as incessant, Dabit called for the creation of state police, arguing that local policing is crucial to complement federal security efforts and protect citizens. Punch
