A High Court sitting in Jos on Tuesday granted four persons standing trial over the killings in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area, leave to call five witnesses each in their defence.
The suspects — Isa Umar Ibrahim, Auwalu Abubakar, also known as Auwalu Dogo, and Musa Abubakar Ibrahim, also known as Yaroro — are being prosecuted alongside one Ado Ibrahim, who is currently at large, over their alleged roles in the attack.
The accused persons were arrested by the Department of State Services following the deadly assault on Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, which occurred on Palm Sunday in 2026 and reportedly claimed about 30 lives.
