Two people were killed by gunmen on Wednesday along the Barkin Ladi-Dorowa Babuje road in Plateau State. It was told that the victims were returning home after attending a security meeting called by the Sector Four Commander when they were ambushed and killed. The National President of Berom Youths Moulders Association, Solomon Dalyop, confirmed the killings to our correspondent in Jos on Wednesday night . He said the gunmen attacked the youths without provocation. “Two of our people were killed a while ago. They were going home on Wednesday evening after attending a security meeting called by the Sector Four Commander when they were ambushed along the Barkin Ladi -Dorowa Babuje road and killed. Yesterday, they attacked two villages simultaneously and killed one person in the night around 7 p.m.,” he said. The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the area, with Dalyop alleging that suspected Fulani armed groups carried out simultaneous attacks on two villages on October 6, killing one person. Dalyop claimed that the attackers often use allegations of cattle killing as a pretext for their actions. “Yesterday, they came up with an allegation that their cows were killed. They will always come up with such allegations, even if they want to kill. Assuming that something like that happens, won’t you allow security agents to carry out an investigation? From our own assumption, it is their own people who attended the security meeting who gave information to their killers about the road our own people returning home would follow. So, they went and blocked the road and killed two people while two others escaped. The corpses of those killed are now lying at the morgue of the Barkin Ladi General Hospital,” Dalyop said.
