Herdsmen Shoot 2 Secondary School Teachers to death on the Plateau
By: Bodunrin Kayode
The Berom Youths Mulder-Association (BYM) has again raised alarm over the Killing of two teachers by herdsmen who dared to graze into Beco comprehensive school Kwi in Plateau State.
Efforts by the vice Principal Dalyop Ibrahim to stop the herdsmen from their wrong doing was equally resisted with gunshots which rendered the VP helpless and wounded.
A statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Berom youths, Wrang Tengwong noted that ” We are again, saddened over the invasion of BECO Comprehensive School Kwi, where two staff, Mr and Mrs Rwang Danladi were reportedly shot dead.
” Dalyop Emmanuel Ibrahim, the Vice Principal of the School was also seriously injured by some known fulani armed men alongside suspected Bandits elements at about 3:00pm of Monday, 14th August, 2023.”
The youths noted that, the incident happened when staff were holding a meeting to compile results of students for delivery on Friday, 18th August during “Speech and Prize Giving-Day” in line with the school’s calendar.
According to local sources that pleaded anonymity, trouble started when the herding bandits came into the school Compound with their cattles, and interrupted the Staff meeting.
“The source added that the staff had asked them to get their cows out of the school environment. But instead of complying, they brought out their arms and opened gunfire at the teachers.
” This resulted into the death of recently wedded couples, Rwang Danladi and wife, Sandra Rwang Danladi, who are the staff of the school while Mr Dalyop Emmanuel Ibrahim who is the Vice Principal of the institution sustained serious injuries and is receiving medical treatment at the Jos University Teaching Hospital-JUTH
“The Berom Youth Moulder-Association, BYM under the leadership of Solomon Dalyop Mwantiri noted with concern how these Terrorists from Fass and Mahanga now move freely with arms and graze on farmlands, intimidating and killing locals at nearby Communities.
“Fass, Mahanga and Guava communities have become enclaves of Terrorists, who carry out all sorts of coordinated attacks on villages in Barkin Ladi, Riyom, Bokkos, Mangu, Jos South and even in areas
beyond the state.
” We therefore call on government to ban open grazing in Plateau state since grazing has become a ploy to continue unleashing havock on human lives and property.
” We also call on security operatives to, as a matter of urgency, raid the aforementioned settlements formed by way of forceful occupation after uprooting the aboriginals therefrom.
” This is necessary in order to get rid of both the terrorist and criminal elements that have firmly defied law and order.”, said the youths.

By: Zagazola Makama
At least seven persons were killed and three others abducted when armed bandits attacked Kyara village, a remote border community in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State, in the early hours of Thursday.
Sources said the attack occurred at about 4:00 a.m. in the village, which lies close to the Niger Republic border and has no mobile phone network coverage.
The bandits, who were said to be in large numbers and armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the community, shooting sporadically and causing panic among residents.
During the attack, seven persons were shot dead, while two others sustained gunshot injuries. Three villagers were also kidnapped, and an unspecified number of domestic animals were rustled.
Joint security forces were immediately deployed to the area after the incident was reported. On arrival, they evacuated the corpses and the injured victims to a hospital for autopsy and medical treatment.
Troops have since launched a manhunt for the attackers with a view to rescuing the abducted victims, recovering the rustled livestock and arresting those responsible.
Confidence-building patrols are currently ongoing in and around Kyara village to reassure residents and prevent further attacks.
