Three killed in Plateau ambush as insecurity worsens

Published on March 24, 2025 at 10:48 PM

Three people were ambushed and killed in the Dundu community, Kwall District, Irigwe Chiefdom of Bassa Local Government Area in Plateau State.

The victims, identified as John Avia, 48, Sunday Vickson, 32, and Peter Vickson, 30, were reportedly attacked on Sunday evening while returning home from their businesses.

The incident occurred amid ongoing destruction of dry-season farms in the area, adding to growing concerns about insecurity.

The Plateau State Government, the State Police Command, and Operation Safe Haven (OpSH) could not confirm the attack at the time of this report.

The Special Adviser to Governor Caleb Mutfwang on Security, Brigadier-General Gakji Shipi, stated that he was unaware of the development, while the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Alfred Alabo, is yet to make comments.

Joseph Yonkpa, the National Publicity Secretary of the Irigwe Youth Movement, who confirmed the killings, lamented that there had been several ambushes and destruction of farmlands in the area in the past two weeks.

He urged the people to increase their vigilance to prevent further attacks.
