Late Daniel Danjuma Chong
A former councillor representing Rim Ward in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, Hon. Daniel Danjuma Chong, has been killed in an attack on Torok village in Rim Community.
It was learnt that gunmen stormed the community around 11:45pm on Sunday night and unleashed mayhem.
Residents said Chong, popularly known as “Hon. Star,” was killed in the attack.
A resident, Mrs. Cynitha Dung, said the attack was unexpected and threw residents of the community into panic.
“We heard heavy gunshots late in the night. Everyone ran for safety. By the time people came out, Hon. Daniel had been shot. It was a terrifying experience, and the community is still in shock,” she said.
Dung disclosed that another resident, Mr. David Dachollom Danjuma, sustained gunshot injuries during the attack and was receiving treatment.
