According to reports, the vigilantes were attacked while carrying out their duty of protecting residents from criminal activities. The assailants reportedly stormed the community under the cover of darkness, leading to the deaths of the three security volunteers.
Residents described the incident as tragic and called on security agencies to intensify efforts to apprehend those responsible and prevent further attacks. The latest violence has once again underscored the need for improved security measures in vulnerable communities across Plateau State.
Authorities are yet to provide full details of the attack, while investigations are expected to determine the circumstances surrounding the killings and identify the perpetrators.
