Unidentified gunmen suspected to be bandits have attacked Daron village in Gyel District, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, leaving two people dead.
The incident which reportedly occurred on Tuesday around 7:50 pm also left another person injured.
Confirming the killings on Wednesday, a youth leader in the community and President of the Berom Youths Moulders Association, Solomon Dalyop, said, “In another turn of events at about 7:50 pm on 21st October, 2025, bandits suspected to be armed Fulani attacked and shot dead two people, among whom is Mr Pam Choji, and one was injured at Daron village of Gyel District in Jos South LGA.”
According to him, the attack followed an early warning of planned raids on villages in Gyel and neighbouring settlements.
“The bandits, suspected to be armed Fulani, just opened fire on the community. The attack followed an early warning of planned attacks on villages of Gyel and neighbouring settlements,” he added.
The Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, Alabo Alfred, also confirmed the incident stating, “Yes, we are aware of the incident. We have just finished our monthly press briefing, and we are moving to the community right now.”
DAILY POST reports that the latest attack highlights the ongoing security challenges in Plateau State, where several communities have recently experienced violent attacks.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang had reiterated that his government, alongside security agencies, is determined to end these nefarious activities and insisted that it is time for perpetrators to renounce violence and embrace peace.
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.
