Armed terrorists have killed three youths in a midnight attack on Pwomol Village in Heipang District, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, the second assault on the community within a week.
The attackers targeted vigilante youths keeping watch, leaving one other person critically injured and receiving treatment in hospital.
Rwang Tengwong, National Publicity Secretary of the Berom Youth Moulders-Association, confirmed the arrest of one suspected attacker. “Security operatives arrested one suspected attacker at about 1:00 a.m. around the Redemption Camp area between Heipang and Kassa,” he said. “The suspect was found with blood stains on his body and is currently in the custody of security operatives at Sector 4 in Barkin Ladi.”
Tengwong called for swift justice. “The arrested suspect must be promptly brought to justice and made to reveal information that could lead to the arrest of his accomplices and collaborators.”
The Berom Youth Moulders-Association commended the swift intervention of the Special Task Force, Operation Enduring Peace, and urged residents to remain vigilant. “The Berom Youth Moulders-Association remains committed to the protection of lives and the pursuit of justice for victims of violent attacks across Berom land and beyond,” the group added.
