Three vigilantes were killed in an ambush around the Kyikyau–Gyambwas boundary in Mangu Halle District, Mangu Local Government Area, during a dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed by the Plateau State government. The victims, named Samson Dachet, Gambo Fwangyil, and Zughumnan Bamaiyi, were reportedly killed at around 7:49 p.m., just after the curfew had taken effect.
The Mwaghavul Youth Movement expressed shock and concern over the attack, questioning the effectiveness of the curfew in protecting communities from armed criminals. The National President of Mwaghavul Development Association, Bulus Dabit, condemned the incident as dangerous, stating that law-abiding citizens were confined to their homes, while armed bandits continued to move and attack freely.
The incident occurred a day after the curfew was implemented to restore law and order following reports of attacks and killings in the affected LGAs.
