Gunmen on Sunday night reportedly killed six persons at Ikn’gwakap community of Mushere Chiefdom in Bokkos local government Council of Plateau state.

Eyewitnesses said the gunmen stormed the community at midnight and started shooting sporadically.

It was gathered that several homes were razed by the rampaging gunmen.

A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of Mushere Youth movement Kutyil Gashion Nahum confirmed the sad development.

The statement reads: “On the night of Sunday, 14th September, 2025, about six innocent persons including women and children were brutally murdered in their sleep in Ikn’gwakap, the Headquarters of Mushere Chiefdom.

“Several others remain missing, leaving families in fear, trauma, and uncertainty.

” It is alarming and unacceptable that despite repeated attacks on Mushere communities, not a single perpetrator has been arrested or neutralized.

“This persistent failure highlights the urgent need for a total overhaul of the security architecture in the area.

“We therefore call on the government at all levels to rise to its constitutional duty of protecting lives and property. The continued silence and inaction only embolden terrorists to perpetrate more violence on defenseless communities.

“While demanding immediate and decisive action, we equally urge all citizens across Mushere and Bokkos to remain vigilant, united, and proactive in safeguarding their communities, even as we continue to press peacefully and firmly for justice and lasting peace.

“The blood of our people must not continue to be shed in vain.

“The time for decisive action is now,the statement further.” (The Nation)
