Three persons are feared dead and one injured following a fresh attack by unidentified gunmen in Jos South LGA of Plateau State.
The victims—Luka Sandu Pam (36), Samuel Davou (38), and Deme Saidu (35)—were reportedly ambushed while returning from Gero on a motorbike.
Eyewitnesses said the victims were among about 15 youths heading home from a mining site when they ran into the attackers.
The Gyel Youth Leader, Dung Davou, explained that the group came under sudden assault by suspected armed herdsmen, forcing them to flee.
“We started hearing sporadic gunshots, and everyone scattered. Unfortunately, three of our people were killed,” he said.
He urged authorities to take urgent action, describing the attacks as persistent and unprovoked.
The incident comes days after another deadly assault in the area, where several people were killed and others injured, raising fresh concerns over insecurity in Plateau State.
