Suspected herdsmen kill man one month after his wedding in Plateau

Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen have killed a newlywed man identified as Maren Amos Ishaku in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.

According to one D’yong Mangut, the deceased, who got married a month ago, was shot dead on Saturday, October 28, 2023, when he went to his farm to transport harvested maize to his house.

“How cheap life can be in this country. Got married about a month ago. Went to his farm yesterday to transport his harvested maize to his house only to be killed by herdsmen. l who rained bullets on him. No conscience. No human feelings… How can any human be so cruel and wicked? Amos! May your killers never find peace. NB: What exactly is happening in Bokkos? The insecurity is too much. If one is not been killed, he lives in fear of been kidnapped,” he wrote. 

Another friend said he met the deceased on his way to the farm yesterday.

“Haba Maren Amos Ishaku, Haba, I met u yesterday morning on your way to the farm, I even jokingly ask to follow u, without me knowing that was the last smile I’ll c from uuuuu. I can’t believe I won’t see u again. My heart aches this morning when I heard the bad news. May ur killers never find peace. It’s so hard to say goodbye. I pray u fine eternal rest ND peace as well. I’ll forever miss uuuuuu,” he wrote.
