Suspected Fulani herdsmen have k!lled a farmer identified as Bitrus Dakwan, in Kubon community, Kombun District of Mangu Local Government Area, Plateau State.

Some villagers who confirmed the attack to punch on Monday, November 3, said the gunmen invaded the community on Sunday, shooting sporadically .

A community leader, John Maikwudi, who described the incident as “unbearable” said the attackers stormed Dakwan’s house, k!lling him instantly. 

“Yes, there was an attack in our community yesterday, and a young man, a farmer, was k!lled. His name is Bitrus Dakwan. He was k!lled last night, Sunday, October 2, 2025, following the attack in the Kubon community in Kombun District of Mangu Local Government by Fulani herdsmen,” Maikwudi said.

“The young man was in his house when the attackers came and k!lled him. He was still mourning his elder brother, who d!ed last month after he fell sick.” 

He attributed the quick response of villagers and security agents to having prevented further casualties

The community leader lamented the plight of innocent villagers.

"If not for the quick intervention of the villagers who mobilised themselves with the help of security agents, the invaders would have caused more havoc in the Kubon community.

“What is happening in many Plateau communities is simply unbearable. For how long shall innocent villagers continue to be k!lled without anything being done to stop the invaders?”
