Gunmen attack communities in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State and kill two security operatives, with reports also saying the attackers seize their rifles. The incidents are reported to occur on Sunday afternoon, following an assault on local communities.
Vanguard reports the attack takes place around Jol District in Riyom, with several other security personnel injured. Premium Times similarly says gunmen kill two operatives and take their weapons after attacking communities in Riyom. Across the two accounts, both outlets describe a fresh raid involving firearms being carried off by the attackers, but they do not provide further details on the attackers’ identity or their motive.
Both reports focus on the immediate outcome: the deaths of two operatives, injuries among others, and the loss of firearms. Neither source includes official confirmation from Plateau State authorities or national security agencies in the provided excerpts, and details about casualties beyond the two killed are limited.
