Initially, Nigerian officials provided a much lower death toll, telling the public 16 people have died in the violence.
Inter-communal conflict in the area has claimed hundreds of lives in recent years.
The acting chairman of Bokkos local government area of Plateau state, Monday Kassah, said the attacks were “well-coordinated.”
On Sunday, state governor Caleb Mutfwang condemned the attack, calling it “barbaric, brutal and unjustified”. "
“Proactive measures will be taken by the government to curb ongoing attacks against innocent civilians,” said Gyang Bere, the governor’s spokesperson.
“The Nigerian authorities have been failing to end frequent deadly attacks on rural communities of Plateau state,” Amnesty International wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
