Text: By Zagazola Makama Three persons were killed in renewed attacks on communities in Plateau State following the shooting of two Fulani youths in Jos South Local Government Area (LGA), as tensions continue to escalate in a cycle of reprisal violence between pastoral and farming communities. The latest killings occurred on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2026, during coordinated attacks on Jol community in Riyom LGA and Gero in Gyel District of Jos South LGA, where several residents, including Pius Luka Dida, Markus Danladi, Peter and Acham Ayuba, lost their lives. The Berom Youths Moulder-Association (BYM) condemned the attacks, describing them as acts of sustained terror against indigenous communities, and demanded the proscription of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and the prosecution of its leaders. In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Rwang Tengwong, the group accused MACBAN of complicity in the violence and faulted its leadership over claims that Berom persons attacked Fulani communities.
