Unidentified gunmen again launched a fresh attack on Nyamgo Gyel, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, increasing fears over the deteriorating security situation in the region.
The victims, identified as Luka Sandu Pam (36), Samuel Davou (38), and Deme Saidu (35), were reportedly ambushed while returning home from Gero on a motorbike.
According to Channels Television, eyewitness accounts indicated that the victims were part of a group of about 15 youths returning from a mining site when they ran into the ambush.
The Gyel Youth Leader, Dung Davou, said the group came under sudden attack by suspected armed herdsmen, forcing them to flee for safety.
āWe started hearing sporadic gunshots, and everyone scattered. Unfortunately, three of our people were killed,ā he said.
He called on authorities to urgently address what he described as repeated and unprovoked attacks on the community.
DAILY POST recalls that at least 10 people were killed and several others injured after heavily armed gunmen laid siege on Angwan Rukuba community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State last Sunday.
