Reports from Nigeria’s Plateau State say three vigilantes from the same family are killed in an attack on community watch personnel. The incident takes place in Tarai community, within the Jol village/district of Riyom Local Government Area, where local security volunteers are reportedly conducting night patrol.
According to the accounts, suspected gunmen storm the community and open fire on the vigilantes while they are on duty. One report says the attack occurs around 10:47 p.m. on Tuesday, during the night patrol/vigilante watch. The three victims are described as brothers, all from the same family.
Both sources link the deaths to a “fresh” attack in the area, but they do not provide further details on the attackers’ identities, the motive, or whether any arrests are made. The reports focus on the killings and the circumstances of the vigilante duty at the time of the shooting.
