A 15-year-old herder, Sadi Aliyu, has been killed by suspected gunmen in Sabon Gidan Kanar community of Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The attack, which also left 13 cattle dead and 11 others missing, occurred while the victim and other herders were grazing livestock in the area.
