Fresh Killings In Plateau After Tinubu’s Visit

Barely 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu met grieving families of victims killed in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, armed men have wreaked yet another havoc in the state.

During the brief meeting which held at Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos, the President assured the people that such attacks would never happen again.

“To the victims, there is nothing I can give you, whether in billions of naira, but I can console you and promise that this experience will not repeat itself,” Tinubu had said.

However, at least three persons were shot dead in Nyango Gyel community of Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau, on Friday night.

It was gathered that the attackers invaded the community around 10:40 pm, shooting sporadically before fleeing.

The Secretary of the Berom Youth Moulders Association (BYM), Rwang Tengwong, who confirmed the incident, described it as another senseless assault on innocent citizens going about their normal businesses.

“This cycle of attacks on our rural communities must stop. We call on security agencies to act swiftly and bring the perpetrators to justice.”

“We urge heightened vigilance among residents of rural communities in Jos South, Riyom, and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas,” he said.
