Militia- Fulani: Local Militias Shot Five Fulani Youths in Plateau – MACBAN Claims
The Plateau State chapter of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), has claimed that five Fulani youths were shot on Saturday evening by suspected Berom militias in Jos South Local Government Area of the state.
State Chairman of MACBAN, Alhaji Ibrahim Yusuf, who made the allegations in a statement on Monday, described the incident as a senseless and unprovoked attack on innocent civilians.
According to Yusuf, the Fulani youths were ambushed and shot near a filling station on Bukuru Express Road, close to Angul D while returning from Bukuru Cattle Market, popularly known as Kara Market, on the evening of December 27, 2025, leaving them critically injured.
In the statement, Yusuf said the victims were inside their vehicle and approaching Angul D Filling Station when the assailants suddenly opened fire on them without provocation, leaving all five youths with serious gunshot injuries.
“The victims were identified as Abubakar Aji, Idi Saleh, Sulaiman, Nura Muhammad Detta, and Dabo Abubakar. Security agents later rushed them to Jos University Teaching Hospital for urgent medical attention,” Yusuf said in the statement.
He called on security agents and the state government to take immediate action to identify and arrest the assailants.
The MACBAN Chairman said:
“We strongly condemn this senseless and criminal act against innocent civilians and call on relevant security agencies to urgently investigate the incident, identify the perpetrators, and ensure they are brought to justice.
“We also urge the Plateau State Government and security authorities to strengthen security along major roads and commercial routes to prevent further attacks and protect the lives and property of all law-abiding citizens, regardless of their ethnic or religious background,” he added.
The MACBAN Chairman added that the shooting was part of a recurring pattern of attacks on Fulani travellers and pastoral communities across Plateau State, warning that continued inaction could further inflame tensions and fuel reprisal violence.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
