At least two soldiers and two vigilante members were reportedly killed in the early hours of Tuesday after they were ambushed by suspected bandits in the Dogon Ruwa community of Bashar District, Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State.

It was gathered that the armed assailants laid an ambush for the security team around 1:00 a.m. while they were trailing the gang following an earlier attempted attack in the area.

Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the attack, the bandits reportedly carted away rifles belonging to the slain soldiers.

Daily Trust reports that Abdullahi Yakubu, the traditional leader of Safiyo, under whose jurisdiction Dogon Ruwa falls, confirmed the incident.

He condemned the attack, stating that the victims were caught off guard.

Yakubu said, “There was a report that the bandits were coming to attack Dogon Ruwa, and people quickly alerted security forces who quickly mobilised and moved to where they were said to have been sighted.

“While on their way to the area, unknown to the security, the bandits had laid an ambush and opened fire at them, resulting in the deaths of two soldiers and two vigilantes."

Another resident of the community, Ibrahim Sale, commenting on the incident, said, “After killing the security personnel, the bandits also took away the soldiers' rifles and uniforms.”

Sale added that the attack has sparked confusion and growing resentment among residents of Dogon Ruwa and neighbouring communities.

When SaharaReporters contacted the spokesperson for the Plateau State Police Command, Alfred Alabo, he refused to respond. Subsequent attempts to reach him by phone were also declined.

Let's say the truth. This wicked bandits are always associated with one people. Forget ipob. Bandit kill enmasse, kidnapped enmasse, slaughter at will.

Is it cultural practice or religious brainwash that makes a man turn his community to pure undiluted evil for all who pass through

Softmirror:
Nigeria is still stand and will continue to prosper.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

The worst part is, no mainstream media's gonna report this.

No comment from the gov't and their attack dogs.

Everyone's just gonna move on like nothing happened.

Nobody's gonna get arrested, nobody's going to jail for this crime.

They're all just waiting for PO to say something to start spitting venom.

Nigeria's never sunk this low before.

What a country we got now.
