Three people have been killed following a late-night attack by unidentified gunmen in Nyango Gyel, located in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
According to eyewitnesses and residents, the assailants invaded the community at about 10:40 p.m. on Friday, firing shots indiscriminately before escaping under the cover of darkness.
The incident was confirmed by Rwang Tengwong, Secretary of the Berom Youth Moulders Association, who described the attack as one too many and condemned the continued violence in the area.
He expressed concern over the repeated assaults on innocent residents, calling on security agencies to take urgent action and ensure those responsible are brought to justice. He also urged people living in vulnerable rural communities across Jos South, Riyom, and Barkin Ladi to remain vigilant.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, had earlier assured residents that such incidents would not be allowed to persist, directing security operatives to identify and apprehend those behind the recent attacks.
