JUST IN: Gunmen Kill Three, Injure Two at Plateau Mining Site
Suspected gunmen attacked a mining site in Nyango, Gyel District, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, killing three and injuring two others.
According to community sources, the attack occurred at about 11:50 a.m. on Tuesday, sending miners and residents fleeing for safety.
A resident, Chuwang Rogo, said the assailants invaded the mining site and opened fire on workers.
He confirmed that three people died in the attack, while two others sustained injuries.
Rogo noted that the death toll could have been higher if many of the miners had not escaped immediately after the shooting began.
According to the association, the repeated attacks have claimed lives, displaced residents and disrupted economic activities in the affected communities.
BYM urged security agencies and government authorities to dismantle criminal hideouts, take decisive action against the perpetrators and restore peace and security to the area.
The association also sympathised with the families of the victims, wished those injured a speedy recovery and called on residents to remain vigilant and continue supporting security agencies with useful information.
Efforts to get a reaction from the spokesperson of the Plateau State Police Command, SP Alfred Alabo, were unsuccessful as he could not be reached at the time of filing the report.
