At least 12 people have been confirmed dead following a deadly attack by gunmen on the Angwan Rukuba community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Police reports indicate that the attackers struck in the early hours of Sunday, firing indiscriminately and leaving several others injured. Security operatives have since been deployed, while investigations are ongoing to track down those responsible.
Residents described scenes of chaos as families fled their homes, with many now displaced and mourning loved ones.
The incident has once again raised serious concerns about the persistent security challenges in Plateau State, where communities continue to face recurring violence.
Authorities and community leaders are calling for stronger security presence, improved intelligence, and lasting solutions to end the cycle of attacks.
