Five Fulani youths were killed on Feb. 19 in an unprovoked attack by suspected Berom militias while returning from Dorowan Babuje in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau state.
Zagazola report that the victims, Tahiru Muhammad, Jibrin Salisu, and Abdulmumin Isyak, were ambushed around 7:00 p.m. while traveling through the Jong Fulani community. One of the assailants reportedly beheaded a victim, while the others were shot dead. Empty 7.62mm Special cartridges and a motorcycle were recovered at the scene.
The sources said that the deceased family were told that security personnel have been deployed to trace the perpetrators but as usual nothing will be done.
The incident is part of a broader pattern of coordinated attacks targeting Fulani settlements and livestock across Plateau State.
