Gunmen attacked the Ikn’gwakap community in Mushere Chiefdom, Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, on Sunday night, September 14, 2025, killing at least six people, including women and children.
The attackers who arrived in large numbers, Diaspora Digital Media gathered, opened fire indiscriminately and set several houses ablaze, leaving many families homeless and residents fleeing for safety.
The victims were brutally murdered in their sleep, with several others still missing, leaving families in fear, trauma, and uncertainty.
The Mushere Youth Movement (MYM) has condemned the attack, describing it as devastating and unacceptable.
MYM’s spokesman, Kutyil Gashion Nahum, emphasized the urgent need for a total overhaul of the security architecture in the area, citing repeated attacks on Mushere communities with no perpetrators arrested or neutralized.
The group called on the government at all levels to fulfill its constitutional duty of protecting lives and property, stressing that continued silence and inaction embolden terrorists to perpetrate more violence.
MYM urged citizens to remain vigilant, united, and proactive in safeguarding their communities while pressing peacefully for justice and lasting peace.
