Gunmen have killed a pregnant woman identified as Mrs. Happiness Pam and a young man, Daniel Luka, in Dyan Community of Rim Village in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The Berom Youth Moulder Association (BYMA), in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Rwang Tentgwong, has expressed shock and sadness over the attack, adding that the community had once again been thrown into mourning.

The Association expressed concern over continuous targeting of defenceless citizens, including women and youths.

It called on the security agencies to immediately intensify efforts to apprehend the perpetrators of the heinous crime and ensure that they are brought to justice.

It also urged the federal and Plateau State governments to take decisive and proactive measures to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further attacks on innocent citizens.

“The repeated loss of lives in our communities has become one too many. The people of Plateau State deserve to live in peace, cultivate their farms, and carry out their daily activities without fear of attacks, killings, or displacement,” it said.

Meanwhile, all efforts to get the comment of the spokesman of the Plateau State police command SP Alfred Alabo, failed. (Nigerian Tribune)
