Nine members of a family were killed and one person critically injured after armed bandits and terrorists attacked Wereng-Camp and Kum villages in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State late Saturday night.
The Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM), in a statement signed by Rwang Tengwong, its National Publicity Secretary and made available to Journalists on Sunday in Jos said the attack began at about 11:00 p.m. on Saturday and lasted for more than an hour into the early hours of Sunday, alleging that the assailants came from the Fass area, described as a terrorist enclave around Jol Community.

“The attack claimed the lives of nine members of a single family, while Pam Yohanna, 40, sustained life-threatening injuries and is currently battling for his life after the coordinated assault,” the statement said.
“It is another painful reminder of the recurring attacks that continue to claim innocent lives across Plateau State and other parts of North-Central Nigeria, with entire families wiped out, villages invaded, homes destroyed and thousands displaced,” the association added.
