At least three family members have been killed by suspected bandits in Miango district of Plateau State's Bassa Local Government Area while harvesting crops on their farm. 


Two others were said to have also sustained severe injuries from machete cuts and they are currently receiving treatment in Jos.


The attack occurred during a visit by a fact-finding committee to the community to engage leaders and security agencies. 


The committee's chairman, retired Major General Nicholas Rogers, expressed dismay and called on locals to avoid self-help or reprisal attacks.


This incident follows a similar attack last week where suspected herdsmen killed 13 people, mostly children and the elderly, in Juwan and Manja communities. 


Meanwhile, security agents have intensified efforts to arrest the perpetrators.
