The victims, Joshua Badung, 31; Innocent Caleb, 28; and Ayuba Adamu, 34 were members of the community who assumed the responsibility of protecting their people. Their deaths are a painful reminder of the grave risks communities continue to face amid the prevailing insecurity.

BYM believes the situation has reached a point where expressions of concern are no longer sufficient.For too long, communities have endured killings followed by condolences, promises and assurances, only for further attacks to occur. This cycle must end.

We call on the Nigerian Government and security agencies to move beyond statements and demonstrate their commitment to protecting lives through immediate, sustained and effective security measures in vulnerable communities.

We equally appeal to the international community, the United Nations, human rights organisations, diplomatic missions and international media not to ignore the deteriorating security situation.

We urge them to call on the Nigerian Government to move beyond assurances and implement concrete measures to stop the killings, protect vulnerable communities and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable.

The people of Plateau state should not have to wait for another attack before their safety becomes a priority.How many more lives must be lost before decisive action replaces assurances?BYM prays that God comforts the families of the bereaved and grant their souls eternal rest.

The victims, Toma Davou, 27, and Jeremiah Benjamin, 28, were fatally shot at about 7:30 p.m. on Monday while seated in front of their homes. Both were married and fathers of two children each, leaving behind young widows and four children whose lives have been abruptly thrown into uncertainty.

BYM is particularly disturbed by reports that herders came in large numbers to graze around Dyan community during the day before the attack occurred later that same day. This recurring pattern reinforces concerns that grazing activities are being used as a cover to scout vulnerable communities and facilitate attacks.

It is against this background that BYM renews its call for the immediate implementation of the buffer zones discussed recently with the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 3 Division, Nigerian Army, during his visit to Riyom Local Government Area. We believe clearly defined and properly enforced buffer zones around vulnerable communities can help prevent suspicious movements, improve early warning and give security agencies better control of high-risk areas.

BYM particularly commends the DSS personnel stationed between Dyan and Gako communities for their prompt response, which helped avert further casualties. Their intervention demonstrates the importance of maintaining adequate and responsive security personnel within vulnerable communities.

We also call on the Plateau State Government to urgently address the plight of young widows and orphans left behind by victims of recurring attacks. These families have lost breadwinners through no fault of their own and deserve concrete government support, protection and sustainable livelihood assistance.

BYM reiterates its call for proactive security measures, effective buffer zones, accountability for perpetrators and the protection of farming communities across vulnerable areas of Plateau State. The people of Plateau deserve to live, farm and raise their families without fear. Government must act decisively to protect lives and ensure that those who kill innocent citizens face the full weight of the law.

BYM is equally concerned about the reported use of drones for surveillance by the terrorists during attacks and calls on security agencies to investigate the development and prevent the misuse of technology to terrorise vulnerable communities.

The Association is also alarmed by the continued destruction of farmlands in Jol, Rim and other communities in Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGAs. Farmers are losing crops and livelihoods while herders continue grazing mischievously close to residential areas and cultivated farmlands.

This is particularly disturbing given the recent resolution reached during the meeting with the New General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3rd Armoured Division to establish buffer zones across communities affected by insecurity in Barkin Ladi and Riyom. BYM therefore calls for the immediate enforcement of the agreed buffer zones and stronger security measures to protect lives, homes and farmlands.

We demand increased security presence in Wereng, Jol, Rim, Riyom and other vulnerable communities, alongside a transparent investigation into the attack and reported drone activities.

The attacks, which occurred on the night of 11 August 2026, were reported in at least four locations. In Gwa-Wereng Rim, gunmen attacked the community and killed Mr. Bulus Mwagwong, popularly known as Dikko, while his cousin, Yakubu, was fatally injured. In Kyeng Village, Bachi District, 47-year-old Mr. Stephen Dachollom Kaze was reportedly killed by Fulani militia at about 8:30 p.m.

In another incident at Dorong, attackers reportedly set houses ablaze, leaving residents in fear and causing destruction of property. At Jol Village, armed attackers reportedly engaged local vigilantes in an exchange of gunfire, further heightening tension and insecurity in the area.

BYM is deeply concerned that these attacks are occurring with increasing frequency and are threatening the safety of rural communities, particularly farmers and other residents who depend on their land for survival. The Association calls on security agencies to immediately strengthen their presence in vulnerable communities, pursue the perpetrators and ensure that those responsible for the killings and destruction are brought to justice.

The Association also appeals to the Plateau State Government and relevant authorities to provide immediate support to the affected families and communities, including assistance for those who have lost loved ones, homes and property.

BYM extends its condolences to the families of Bulus Mwagwong and Stephen Dachollom Kaze, while wishing Yakubu a speedy recovery. The Association urges the people to remain vigilant, peaceful and united, while calling on security agencies to take decisive action before the situation deteriorates further.

The attackers invaded the community at about 10:47 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, and murdered Dachung Danjuma (51), Victor Danjuma (37), and Nyam Danjuma (35) who are siblings.

Their killing has left behind their aged mother in her 80s whose life has been defined by unimaginable tragedy.

She gave birth to five sons, and she has now lost all of them to violent attacks.

Her first son was killed in 2002 during the attack that displaced natives from Rankum, a community now known as Mahanga.

Another son was killed during one of the attacks on Jol in 2025.

With the murder of Dachung, Victor, and Nyam, she has now buried all five of her sons.

The three brothers left behind nine children as Dachung Danjuma is survived by five children, Victor Danjuma by three children, while Nyam Danjuma left behind one child.

Their wives have also been widowed and now face the daunting responsibility of raising their children alone.

Their wives, children and aged mother had fled their home after the recent attack on neighbouring Tanjol community and had only begun preparing to return following signs of relative calm when tragedy struck again.

While family members and sympathisers were conducting the mass burial of the three brothers, armed Fulani herders moved from the Fass axis into Darwat community in Jol, where they carried out aggressive grazing on farmlands and fired sporadically, creating fresh panic among residents.

The situation was brought under control following the intervention of personnel of Operation Enduring Peace stationed at Daku community, who repelled the attackers.

The Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM), under the leadership of Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri, Esq., strongly condemns these unrelenting attacks, which have been a systematic assault on innocent communities and a grave threat to peace, security, and human dignity.

BYM calls on the Federal Government, the Plateau State Government, security agencies, civil society organisations, and the international community to move beyond condolences and take decisive action to halt the persistent attacks on indigenous communities in Plateau State.

The Association specifically urges security agencies to carry out comprehensive security operations in Mahanga, Fass, and Daku, which residents have consistently identified as flashpoints and routes from which armed attackers launch assaults on surrounding communities.

No community should serve as a safe haven for criminal elements, and all locations linked to these repeated attacks should be thoroughly searched, cleared of armed groups where present, and brought under the full authority of the law.

The Association extends its deepest condolences to the bereaved family, the people of Tarai, and the entire Jol Village.

BYM DEMANDS ARREST OF GAFDAN MEDIA TEAM OVER ALLEGED TERROR PROPAGANDA

The Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM), under the leadership of Barr. Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri, is deeply alarmed by yet another calculated attempt to distort the truth surrounding the continuous terrorist attacks on indigenous communities in Plateau State, Nigeria.

A Facebook account operating under the name Gafdan Media Team falsely claimed that three herders were ambushed and killed by Berom people around the Jol axis of Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.

This narrative is not only false but is a dangerous propaganda campaign designed to conceal the atrocities committed by armed terrorists while criminalising victims who are defending their communities.

The facts are clear. On Sunday afternoon, Armed Fulani Terrorists from Mahanga – a community they had displaced the natives from and grabbed, invaded Jol community in Riyom LGA, launching an unprovoked attack on innocent residents. During the assault, Mr. Thomas Damang, 48, was murdered, while Ishaku Pam (22), Ezra Yakubu (28), and Shedrack Danladi (34) sustained gunshot injuries.

The attackers met resistance from local vigilantes working alongside security personnel.

In the ensuing confrontation, three terrorists were neutralised and five others sustained injuries, forcing the remaining attackers to retreat. Contrary to the false report by Gafdan Media Team, those killed were not innocent herders but members of the armed group that attacked the community.

This recurring pattern of misinformation raises grave concerns. Every time terrorists are confronted by security personnel or local defenders, certain platforms quickly circulate fabricated stories portraying the attackers as innocent herders while ignoring the innocent civilians killed in the attacks.

Such propaganda emboldens terrorists, undermines security operations, and frustrates efforts to achieve justice for victims.

BYM is convinced that the operators of the Gafdan Media Team Facebook account have repeatedly demonstrated knowledge and narratives that align with the interests of terrorist groups operating in Plateau State. This pattern warrants urgent investigation.

We therefore call on the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Police Force, and other security agencies to immediately identify, investigate, and prosecute those behind this platform. Information warfare is an integral part of modern terrorism, and individuals who deliberately spread falsehood to shield violent criminals must be held accountable under the law.

We also call on the Federal Government, the National Human Rights Commission, civil society organisations, the international community, and global media to pay close attention to the coordinated campaign of disinformation surrounding the Plateau crisis. The manipulation of facts not only denies justice to victims but also enables the continuation of attacks against vulnerable communities.

The people of Plateau deserve protection, truth, and justice—not propaganda that rewards terrorism and silences victims. Lasting peace can only be achieved when both those who wield weapons and those who weaponise misinformation are held accountable.

The Association recalls that the location mentioned by MACBAN is among areas where security agencies have directed that grazing activities should not take place because they serve as buffer zones. This raises serious questions as to why cattle were taken into the prohibited area in the first place. Security agencies must investigate who violated this directive and determine the actual circumstances surrounding the alleged incident.

BYM is deeply concerned that this allegation may be part of a familiar pattern in which unverified claims are used to create a pretext for retaliatory attacks against peaceful communities. We therefore call on all security agencies to treat this development as an early warning signal and take proactive measures to prevent any violence against innocent people in Barkin Ladi and neighbouring communities.

It is also important to recall that large expanses of land grabbed by the fulanis from the natives remain under their control following years of attacks, killings and displacement of indigenous inhabitants. Despite the availability of such grazing spaces, some herders continue to move cattle dangerously close to residential communities, contrary to security advice and to the anxiety of local residents. While the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria guarantees freedom of movement, that right is not absolute and cannot be exercised in a manner that endangers the lives, safety and security of others.Furthermore, Nigerians will recall that only recently, similar allegations were made against operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) deployed to Barkin Ladi. Those claims were never substantiated. Since the deployment of the DSS, the area has witnessed relative peace. It is therefore unfortunate that another allegation has surfaced which appears capable of undermining the gains recorded by the security agencies.

BYM calls on the Plateau State Government and all security agencies to carry out a professional, impartial and transparent investigation into the incident. Those responsible, whoever they may be, should be brought to justice based on credible evidence and not on ethnic profiling or unsubstantiated accusations.

Finally, we urge the Berom people and all law-abiding residents to remain peaceful, vigilant and continue to cooperate with security agencies. We equally call on security personnel to strengthen surveillance around vulnerable communities to prevent any attempt by criminal elements to exploit this allegation as a justification for renewed attacks.

The Berom Youth Moulders-Association remains committed to justice, peaceful coexistence and the protection of innocent lives. We shall continue to support every lawful effort aimed at securing lasting peace in Plateau State.

The post MACBAN’S ALLEGATION IS AN EARLY WARNING SIGNAL THAT MUST NOT BE IGNOREDThe appeared first on eccvn.

Protocols.
Gentlemen of the Press, we address you today with hearts weighed down by grief, yet strengthened by an unwavering resolve to speak the truth about the tragic reality confronting our people.
For far too long, the indigenous peoples of Plateau State and, indeed, other law-abiding Citizens have borne the unbearable burden of relentless terror. Our communities have become theatres of bloodshed; our ancestral lands have been violently invaded; our villages reduced to desolation; our farms abandoned; our economic life strangulated; and thousands of our people condemned to lives of displacement, fear and uncertainty.

Generations that ought to be building prosperity have, instead, buried loved ones, fled from their ancestral homes, and struggled merely to survive elsewhere.

The tragedy of Plateau is no longer an isolated security concern. It has become a protracted humanitarian catastrophe and a profound moral challenge to our collective conscience.
Despite numerous interventions by successive governments and security agencies, the killings have persisted with frightening regularity, creating the disturbing impression of an adversary that continuously mutates its methods, adapts its tactics and exploits every available opportunity. This is the hydra-headed challenge that has continued to test the resolve of both government and the Nigerian people.

It is for this reason that Nigerians have consistently demanded greater professionalism, intelligence gathering, inter-agency synergy, strategic deployment and decisive action from our security institutions. Terrorism cannot be defeated by routine responses alone. It requires superior intelligence, operational dominance, sustained pressure and an uncompromising determination to deny criminal elements every opportunity to regroup or expand their campaign of terror.

Against this backdrop, the deployment of a Department of State Services (DSS) operational camp in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area in May 2026 was received with widespread relief by law-abiding citizens and the bona fide indigenous communities of the area. For a people who have lived under the shadow of incessant attacks and rain of terror, it represented more than a security deployment; it symbolized renewed hope.

Barely days after the camp became operationaln , on 1st June 2026, it reportedly came under attack by Fulani militants, bandits and other terrorist networks. The attack was successfully repelled by the DSS, demonstrating commendable professionalism, preparedness and operational capability in confronting forces that have for years unleashed violence upon innocent communities.

It is worthy of mention that, prior to the deployment, reign of terror attacks on hamlets, villages and communities had become almost habitual, with no fewer than 200 persons reportedly killed within the last 5 months around that axis, while countless others fled their ancestral homes. Commendably, the impact of the deployment became increasingly evident; Communities that had become accustomed to nightly terror began to experience a measure of relief. The sustained intelligence-driven operations of the DSS significantly reduced the frequency of attacks and rekindled hope that peace could gradually return to communities long abandoned to fear.
Indeed, apart from the unfortunate incident at Sabon Layi in Barkin Ladi town on the 4th July. 2026 in which three vigilante operatives lost their lives, the period witnessed an appreciable decline in major attacks, validating the importance of sustained intelligence-led security operations.

It was therefore surprising that, at a time when these operations appeared to be yielding positive results, true to a strategy of distraction, spurious allegations suddenly surfaced, accusing the DSS personnel of sexually harassing Fulani women and intimidation posed to the men of the same extraction during operations around Kwok, otherwise known as “Ruga Jalo.” These allegations rapidly dominated public discourse and generated widespread reactions, which in a way tended to slow the patrols and operations of the deployed operatives.

Let us be unequivocal. Allegations of misconduct against any security agency must never be dismissed. Such weighty accusations deserve prompt, impartial and transparent investigation in accordance with our extant laws. However, sensational allegations, must never be elevated to established facts without evidently proving which, in our firm view, is a propaganda machine strategically employed sheepishly not only to majorly distract, but also whittle down the ongoing crackdown on regime of insurgency bedeviling Plateau State and the Country at large.

To the best of our knowledge, based on information available from credible sources within the affected communities, the fantastic fabricated allegations by respondents in that virally schemed video record acted on hearsay as there was no any element or a trace of sexual harassment, intimidation, burning of houses, destruction of property or other acts consistent with some of the alarming narratives circulated in the public domain. In that light, it is imperative to caution that public opinion must never be manipulated by falsehood, exaggeration or orchestrated misinformation, particularly where national security is concerned. allowing such pathological falsehood, which does not have any utilitarian value, to fly and dominate public discourse, it will definitely project the potency of encouraging and promoting terrorism in its large scale, which inevitably scuttles National growth and development.

It is pertinent to note that Kwok community is situated in close proximity to Sabon Layi. Like every professional security institution worldwide, the DSS conducts operations based on intelligence assessments and operational considerations that are often not available to the public. Such operational decisions should not become the subject of reckless speculation capable of undermining legitimate efforts to secure vulnerable communities.

What deeply concerns us is the pattern that appears to be emerging. Shortly after these allegations gained prominence, influx of Fulani militants alongside their terrorist cohorts from same Ruga Jalo location in Barkin Ladi LGA, without any restraint, mobilized and joined force with another gang from Fass of Jol Community wherefrom they, in commando style, went and struck again a nearby village of Kum in Riyom Local Government Area, brutally murdering a 3-months old baby and 8 other innocent persons, mostly women. In the same vein, the terrorists massively invaded Tanjol and Vwak hamlets of Jol Community and Wereng-Rim of Riyom LGA last night, 14th July and injured two vigilantes in Jol while 1 person named Mr Mangai Musa killed in the usual terror meted out.

While it remains the responsibility of the appropriate security authorities to establish the full operational circumstances surrounding these events, our communities cannot ignore what has become an all-too-familiar sequence: whenever sustained security pressure begins to restrict the activities of terrorists, narratives capable of distracting public attention, weakening operational momentum or eroding confidence in security agencies often emerge, only to be followed by renewed attacks on vulnerable communities.

Having lived through years of systematic violence, displacement and land occupation, our people cannot be faulted for viewing this disturbing pattern with grave concern.

We therefore urge all security agencies not to be distracted from their constitutional responsibility of protecting innocent citizens. Those engaged in genuine security operations should be encouraged, supported and held accountable strictly within the ambit of the law, while frivolous, malicious or unsubstantiated allegations intended to obstruct legitimate security efforts must be carefully scrutinized and investigated.

The blood of our people demands more than expressions of sympathy. It demands justice. It demands courage. It demands sustained action.
Our ancestral lands must no longer remain killing fields.
Our communities must no longer be sacrificed on the altar of impunity.
Our displaced people deserve to return home in safety and dignity.

The era in which terrorists dictate the rhythm of life in Plateau State must come to an end.,
Enough is enough!
We, therefor, call upon the Federal Government, the Government of Plateau State, all security agencies, traditional institutions, civil society organisations and every patriotic Nigerian to remain resolute and united in confronting terrorism, banditry and all forms of violent criminality that continue to threaten peace, security and territorial integrity of Plateau State and the nation at large.

In particular, we urge the Plateau State Government to consolidate and build upon the measurable gains already recorded in Barkin Ladi through closer institutional collaboration with the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies. The intelligence-led security architecture that has yielded encouraging results in Barkin Ladi should, as a matter of urgency, be replicated across other vulnerable local government areas that continue to bear the brunt of these coordinated attacks, including Riyom, Bokkos, Mangu, Bassa, Jos South, Kanam and Quan Pan amongst others.

We are convinced that a coordinated expansion of such proactive security deployments, driven by intelligence, inter-agency synergy and sustained operational presence, will significantly strengthen the protection of lives and property, restore public confidence, and gradually deny criminal elements the operational space they have exploited for far too long.

Finally, we wish to unequivocally assure the Department of State Services and all other patriotic security agencies that the overwhelming majority of law-abiding citizens who genuinely yearn for peace recognize and appreciate every lawful sacrifice being made to halt the bloodshed and restore normalcy to our communities. We acknowledge that the task before our security personnel is both arduous and dangerous, and we commend every officer who continues to discharge his or her constitutional duty with courage, professionalism and fidelity to the rule of law.

As indigenous peoples whose communities have paid an immeasurable price in blood, displacement and destruction, we stand firmly behind every constitutional, intelligence-driven and professional measure aimed at dismantling terrorist networks, dislodging criminal occupiers from illegally acquired territories, securing our ancestral communities, and guaranteeing every law-abiding resident of Plateau State the freedom to live, farm, worship and pursue legitimate livelihoods without fear or intimidation.

We equally call upon all citizens to remain vigilant, cooperate with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence, reject falsehood, misinformation and propaganda capable of undermining legitimate security operations, and collectively recommit ourselves to the pursuit of justice, accountability, lasting peace and the preservation of our ancestral heritage.

The blood of our people cries out not for vengeance, but for justice.

The tears of our widows and orphans demand not rhetoric, but decisive action.
The future of Plateau State depends on our collective resolve to ensure that terror never triumphs over peace, and that truth will never surrender to propaganda.

May God bless Plateau State.
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

According to a situation report issued by the Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM), the victim was allegedly shot dead on the night of Tuesday, July 14, 2026. The association alleged that the attack was carried out by armed assailants it described as “Fulani terrorists” operating from a Fulani settlement in Bangai.

The report, signed by Rwang Tengwong, BYM National Publicity Secretary, stated that the full circumstances surrounding the incident are still being investigated. It added that residents described the killing as another disturbing episode in the recurring violence affecting communities in Riyom Local Government Area.

As of the time of reporting, there has been no official statement from the Nigeria Police Force, military authorities, or representatives of the Fulani community regarding the incident. Independent verification of the claims was not immediately available.

The latest killing is expected to heighten concerns over the persistent security challenges in parts of Plateau State, where repeated attacks and reprisals have claimed numerous lives and displaced residents in recent years. Community leaders have continued to call on security agencies to strengthen protection for vulnerable communities and ensure that those responsible for acts of violence are brought to justice.

5. Miss Sele James, 18

This latest massacre is yet another painful reminder of the recurring attacks that continue to claim the lives of innocent civilians across Plateau State and other parts of North-Central Nigeria. Entire families have been wiped out, villages repeatedly invaded, homes destroyed, and thousands of residents displaced from their ancestral communities.

The Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM), under the leadership of Barr. Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri, expresses deep concern over the sustained pattern of violent attacks targeting predominantly Christian farming communities. The frequency of these attacks, the scale of civilian casualties, and the destruction of homes and livelihoods underscore the urgent need for stronger protection of vulnerable communities and meaningful accountability for those responsible.

We call on the Federal Government of Nigeria to intensify efforts to protect vulnerable communities, dismantle terrorist hideouts, apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators of these attacks, and ensure justice for victims and their families. We also urge the government to provide adequate humanitarian assistance and support for displaced persons whose lives have been devastated by the violence.

Furthermore, we call on the international community including the United Nations, the United States of America, the African Union, the European Union, ECOWAS, international human rights organizations, faith-based institutions, and diplomatic missions—to pay urgent attention to the deteriorating humanitarian and security situation in North-Central Nigeria.

We appeal for independent monitoring and investigation of these recurring attacks, increased humanitarian assistance for affected communities, and sustained engagement with the Nigerian authorities to ensure the protection of civilians and accountability for those responsible.

The continued bloodshed in Plateau State must not be ignored. The lives of innocent men, women, and children deserve protection, justice, and lasting peace. The time for decisive action is now.
