According to Abdullahi, the Fulani and Rukuba (Bache) ethnic groups coexist harmoniously in the community, which enables them to engage in various businesses together, including farming and mining.

Also, Dauda Aku, Youth President of the Bache ethnic group, confirmed the incident, describing it as heartbreaking.

Explaining how he received the news of the incident, the Aku said, “At about 9pm yesterday, I received a call that some members of our group were killed while on their way to seek a livelihood. Two of our members were killed, and one is in the hospital.”

The Youth President frowned at the level of insecurity bedevilling the area, noting that this was not the first time people were losing their lives and nothing had been done about it.

The spokesperson of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), Major Samson Zhakom, had not responded to our correspondent’s inquiry on the development at press time.

Our correspondent reports that attacks and killings have become a daily occurrence, with many people reportedly losing their lives and property worth millions in the process in Plateau State.
