Governor Caleb Mutfwang traveled to the Bindi Community in the Riyom Local Government Area following a deadly assault that claimed 27 lives. Armed attackers struck the settlement during early Tuesday morning hours, leaving widespread destruction across multiple hamlets. The assailants burned homes and devastated agricultural crops while causing millions in property damage. Security forces possessed advance warning about the planned violence yet failed to prevent the massacre. Community leader Ezekiel Davou confirmed the attack began around 3 a.m. and affected eight separate villages.
Mutfwang expressed frustration with existing security protocols and demanded immediate tactical changes from law enforcement agencies. The governor emphasized that intelligence reports had warned of the impending assault, but authorities could not stop the perpetrators. He ordered security personnel to pursue and capture those responsible for the killings. Mutfwang reminded officials that their mission involves actively defending citizens rather than maintaining passive peace. The state leader declared that anyone threatening Nigerian lives represents an enemy requiring decisive action.
The administration pledged to organize coordinated funeral services for victims while providing assistance to displaced families. Mutfwang promised government aid to help residents rebuild destroyed homes and restore damaged property. Community members expressed determination to remain in their villages despite the violence. The governor extended his visit to nearby Gwareng and Bachi communities that experienced similar recent attacks.
