Gunmen ambushed security operatives in Plateau State's Bariki Ladi Local Government Area on Tuesday, killing a policeman. Three civilians were also reported killed in a separate incident in Rakok, Barkin Ladi LGA. These attacks brought the death toll to four, following the imposition of a curfew from dusk to dawn. A security operative confirmed the ambush, stating that the incident occurred around 4pm.
The Berom Youth Moulders-Association president described the ongoing attacks as taking on a larger scale, no longer confined to night-time. The community leader alleged three victims were killed in broad daylight, during a funeral gathering, while two others were killed the previous day traveling to Gashish District. The curfew has not brought peace to the area, as tensions continue to escalate.
