An attack claimed the life of one individual and left seven others injured, as gunmen targeted a vehicle carrying herders returning from the market in Yelwa Club junction, Jos South, Plateau State. This incident took place less than two weeks after a similar attack in Kassa, Barikin Ladi. The Plateau State Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Ibrahim Yusuf Babayo, confirmed the latest occurrence, stating that the gunmen had attacked the vehicle around 5:30 pm on Sunday.
Babayo condemned the attack and urged security forces to apprehend those responsible. He expressed concern over the lack of isolation, noting previous attacks in September of last year and December 2025 on herders returning from the same market. Babayo emphasized the need for security along the Kara Bukuru market route and called for an end to the fear and insecurity among law-abiding pastoralists and traders.
The Plateau State Government, Nigerian Police Force, Operation Safe Haven, the Department of State Services, and other security agencies were urged to enhance security measures and bring the perpetrators to justice.
