The Nasarawa State Police Command has confirmed a deadly attack on guests attending a traditional wedding in Kunza Community, Ashige Chiefdom, Lafia Local Government Area of the state, which left at least three persons dead and several others injured.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday night, December 30, 2025, has drawn strong condemnation from the Migili Youth Association (MYA), which described the attack as “barbaric and reprehensible.”
In a statement issued by its President, Comrade Ajeh Oli Christopher, the association said the violence claimed three lives and left many residents injured, noting that the attack has heightened fear and insecurity in the community, especially among women, children and the elderly.
“This senseless act of violence against innocent and law-abiding citizens constitutes a grave threat to peace and peaceful coexistence in the area and is an affront to humanity and the shared values of our society,” the statement read.
The group expressed deep concern over what it described as recurring insecurity in Migili communities and called on the Nasarawa State Government to urgently intervene.
The association specifically appealed to Governor Abdullahi A. Sule to deploy adequate security personnel to Kunza Community and other vulnerable areas within Ashige Chiefdom to forestall further attacks and restore public confidence.
“We demand the immediate arrest, thorough investigation and prosecution of all those involved in this despicable act, in accordance with the law, to ensure justice for the victims and serve as a strong deterrent,” the MYA added.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Nasarawa State Command told reporters that operatives responded swiftly after the attack was reported.
“We recovered two bodies at the scene, while nine injured persons were taken to the hospital for treatment,” the police spokesperson said.
He added that the Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima Jauro Mohammed, has deployed additional police operatives to the area to restore calm and prevent further violence.
“The Commissioner of Police has also expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased and assured that efforts are ongoing to track down those responsible,” he said.
The Migili Youth Association urged residents to remain calm, vigilant and law-abiding, while pledging its readiness to cooperate with security agencies and government authorities to ensure lasting peace and security in Migili land and Nasarawa State at large.
