In a shocking turn of events, a group of enraged youths in the Angwa Rukuba-Etoo Baba community in Plateau State took matters into their own hands on Tuesday morning. Reports indicate that they set ablaze the house of a farmer in the area, along with looting his poultry farm and setting it on fire as well.

The catalyst for this destructive behavior was the alleged killing of a security man who was working for the farmer. According to Mrs. Janet Haruna, a resident of the community, the farmer’s son was accused of killing the security guard after suspecting him of stealing eggs from the poultry farm. The situation escalated quickly, leading to the youths setting fire to the farmer’s house and causing chaos in the neighborhood.

The flames not only consumed the farmer’s residence but also spread to a neighboring building, causing further damage. Fortunately, the state fire service and security operatives were quick to respond, preventing the fire from spreading even further and maintaining order in the community.

As tensions continue to simmer in the Angwa Rukuba-Etoo Baba community, the local authorities are working diligently to address the situation. The Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area is actively involved in managing the aftermath of this tragic incident.
