In Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, two men identified as 33-year-old Ayuba Danladi and 35-year-old Luka Macham were shot and killed while performing community patrol duties in the Zargwok area of Gashish District at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Their bodies have been taken to the ECWA Clinic.
Regarding a separate incident in Jos South, the association addressed reports from the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) concerning four deaths.

Local vigilantes intervened, resulting in a clash that ended with four of the suspected attackers being neutralised.

The organization is demanding an immediate, unbiased investigation by security forces to identify those responsible. Furthermore, they are calling on authorities to increase security measures to safeguard vulnerable residents and restore regional stability.
