Tension gripped the Gero community in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State after suspected gunmen killed two women, sparking protests by residents.
The victims were found dead in the early hours of Monday in the Gero community, behind the Jos South Local Government Secretariat.
Angered by the killings, women and youths marched to the Jos South Local Government Secretariat carrying the bodies of the deceased and demanding urgent action from the authorities.
They also blocked parts of the road leading to the secretariat, disrupting traffic as they called for improved security and justice for the victims.
Mary Chollom, one of the protesters, condemned the killings, describing them as another painful reflection of the security challenges facing communities across Plateau State.
