The Federal Government has donated food items to victims of the recent attack on Ngbrazongo community in Kwall District, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, following the deadly assault that left several residents dead and others injured.

According to The Nation, the donation was delivered on Monday by Dr Benard Doro, who represented the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, alongside Caleb Mutfwang.

The aid followed the May 8 attack by gunmen on the community, which triggered fresh concerns over insecurity in parts of the state.

Doro, who is from the affected area, said the intervention was meant to provide immediate support to residents displaced or affected by the violence. He added that the administration of Bola Tinubu was taking steps to address the worsening security situation in Plateau.

Mutfwang described the killings as an act of terrorism, saying the violence was aimed at forcing residents off their ancestral land and disrupting livelihoods. He said the state government would continue working with federal authorities and security agencies to restore peace.

The governor also urged local youths to cooperate with security forces, while praising ongoing efforts to secure vulnerable communities.

Jushua Riti said repeated attacks had paralysed economic activities across the area, while Irigwe Development Association president Rev. Daniel Gya called for stronger security action and improved infrastructure in rural communities.

The donated relief materials included 100 bags each of rice, beans and maize, along with cooking oil and other essentials, the News Agency of Nigeria reported.
