In Plateau State, Nigeria, two herders were shot dead and another injured in separate attacks near Kpanchuku, according to the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN). Sani Ibrahim, an 18-year-old, was ambushed while grazing his cattle in Kpachuku, Jebbu Bassa Local Government Area. Asma’u Salihu, a 15-year-old girl, was killed when gunmen attacked her community.
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association condemned the brutal killings as barbaric, inhumane, and unacceptable, urging security agencies to apprehend the perpetrators. The family of the deceased called for calm and law-abiding behavior, emphasizing that the attacks have made it increasingly difficult for herders to tend to their cattle.
